Jones hits 3 for 4 in All-Star Classic

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

The District Senior All-Star Classic softball game was played in Carthage Monday afternoon.

Nevada Lady Tiger Sabrina Jones played first base for the blue team and went 3-for-4 in the game with a double, two singles and a strikeout. Jones notched two RBIs in the game as well, along with scoring two runs.

The blue team, coached by Tim Timmons of Carthage, won the game 10-4 in nine innings.

At the start of the game, the members of both teams seemed a bit uncomfortable, according to fans, but quickly pulled together and were working together as though they had played together all season by the end of the contest.

Players on both teams came from Carthage, Diamond, Neosho, Lamar, College heights and Nevada and all umpires donated their time to do the officiating in the game.

All proceeds from ticket sales for the event were donated to a scholarship fund honoring a Carthage softball player who was killed in a car accident last year.
