Folks around Jackson Parish knew from the summer league regular season how dominant a pitcher Ryan Wyatt was. It is now well known in DeSoto Parish and Sterlington as well.
Wyatt pitched a pair of shut outs in 12-0 and 11-0 victories to lead JP10 to the Little League Softball District 5 championship game that is scheduled to be played at 7:00 pm on Sunday, June 23rd on Field 3 of the Bossier City Recreation Complex located at 4800 Shed Road. Regardless of the outcome from this point, JP10U has qualified for the State Tournament in Broussard, LA that will begin on July 12th. Wyatt allowed only one hit to DeSoto and three meaningless singles to Sterlington while striking out a total of 21 batters over the combined 8 innings pitched.
While not much offense was needed, JP10U supplied plenty. Scarlett Parks and Sally Keiffer led the hit parade by going 4/4 over the two games, Elliot Savage and Charlee Mauthe getting a pair of hits, that included a double each. Brooklyn Keiffer added a double and Ryleigh McCormick, Lizzie Sullivan, Wyatt, Hannah Aldy, Presley Carpenter and Brelaina Hall contributed a base knock apiece.
