Gideon said Saturday afternoon he went to Prides Creek to help his wife, Ashley, who man- ages Prides Creek. While there, he found all five of the Chargers who played Satur- day morning in the tourna- ment were out on the course Reagan Craig reaches for a backhand shot during the number one doubles match Monday night with Forest Park.

The Pocket Athlet- ic Conference win featured nine strikeouts by Williams and 10 by Lady Patriot Rylie Schipp. Both pitchers were stingy on issuing free pass- es with just one walk apiece. Schipp helped herself with two of her team's four hits, but Williams got her own help with a double by Ken- zie Powell, and singles off the bats of Mallory Hickey and Hallie Bailey. Bailey was responsible for two RBIs and Lexie Onyett had the other for the import- ant PAC win. Karley Kavana- ugh, Avery Hunt and Mallo- ry Hickey crossed the plate in the third for the 3-0 Mon- day night win on the Charger diamond. The Lady Charger field- ing was error free, but the Lady Patriots stumbled three times handling the ball under game-winning stress.
