Flames win the Kentucky Junior League State Championship going 5-0 in games, blistering 89-10 total score, to set new standard for Adair County softball! Tournament Summary: The AC Flame out scored the opposition 89 to 10 in the five game series. The AC pitching staff averaged nearly 10 strike outs per game during the tournament and walked only eight batters in the entire tournament (four of those in the first game). It is now on to Akron, Ohio to face Illinois, Ohio, and Iowa in pool play with the two best records going on to the championship series.

Fleming-Neon scored 2 of their 4 runs in the bottom of the first when AC pitcher Meredith Corbin walked 2, hit 2 batters, and gave up a single. It looked like AC might be on the ropes. In the top of the second inning the Fleming-Neon pitcher again struck out the side but a lead off error allowed Brooke Boils to make it around to score. Corbin settled down after first inning jitters and retired the three batters she faced in inning two. In the third inning the AC bats came alive when Kayla Walls, Mackenzie Martin, and Kaylin Hughes all singled. All three had struck out in the first two innings.
