Softball & Baseball seasons continue

Church league softball will go on for at least one more week for Gardenside Christian Church.
This past Monday night (June 23rd), the GCC men's team won their opener in the 2008 city-wide Church league tournament.
The G-men rallied from an early deficit to defeat Eastland Church of God "B," 18-14.
The offensive explosion was punctuated by a 3-run homer by Billy Reynolds.
Billy had previously received much grief from teammates because his previous homers have been of the solo variety.
The game also marked the softball debut of Teen Mission/WKYT intern Cameron Andry.
The Paoli, IN, native and Ball State student went 2-2 with 2 walks and 3 RBI.
You can read much more about Cameron's exploits at his blog: http://cameronandry.blogspot.com/2008/06/andry-reaches-base-in-every-plate.html.

With the win, GCC moves their season record to 6-4, assuring them of a winning season for the 1st time since 1999. Gardenside will play their next tournament game on Monday, June 30th at 6:30 pm at field B in Athens.

In addition, Autumn's baseball season will continue on for a few more weeks.
Following the regular season and tournament, Autumn was selected to be on an All-Star team of 7 & 8-year-olds from Western Little League.
The Western All-Stars will play in a tournament over the 4th of July weekend at Shilito Park here in Lexington, KY. They'll get to see how they stack up against some of the best teams in the city and Bluegrass region.
