Ivie Drake rounds the bases following second home run in
game 3 |
Never wake a sleeping giant! That's what Heritage-Catoosa did in the sweet sixteen of the State Tournament in Danielsville in game one of a best of three series. Not only did Heritage wake Madison County by taking game 1 by a 6-0 score, but they shook a sleeping giant and the Region's 8-AAAA Player of the Year Ivie Drake. Drake's long home run helped push the Raiders to a game 2 win and in the "do or die" game 3, her two home runs paved the way to the road to the Elite Eight in Columbus. The Raiders sealed up a game three win by a 9-8 score on Thursday night. Randee Bettis opened the pitching duties for the Raiders and Alexis Damron closed out the final inning of play with the tying run in scoring position.
