The second contest between Sterlington and the Jackson Parish 10U Girls All-Star team was much like the first. It was no contest. 

Jackson Parish stomped Sterlington 16-1 in three innings  to waltz their way to the Little League District 5 Championship. It marked the second time in two days that the locals beat their Ouachita Parish foes, the first being an 11-0 affair. 

As result of their performance that saw JP10U blitzkrieg their three opponents by a combined score of 39-1, the “dandy dozen” will enter the Little League State Tournament that will be start in Broussard, LA on July 12th, as one of the top seeds.

JP10U 16 Sterlington 1: For the first time all tournament, JP10U actually trailed as Sterlington took advantage of an error to take a 1-0 lead. It was their highlight of the game. 

Before JP10U got their first out the score was 4-1 as Jackson Parish came out swinging a hot stick. Sally Keiffer opened the bottom of the first with a single, and went to second when Hannah Aldy coaxed a walk. A double steal and an error on the throw tied the score setting up Raleigh McCormick driving in Aldy with a single to give the locals the lead. Ryan Wyatt smashed a triple to left to up the score to 3-1 and then scored on a sacrifice ground out by Emma Gray. The lead went to 5-1 when Lizzie Sullivan stroked a single, Scarlett Parks walked, and a ground out by Charlee Mauthe plated the final run of the inning. 

In the second inning, Jackson Parish really heated up. 

Wyatt made quick work of Sterlington by striking out the side setting up a nine run explosion by JP10U that blew the game open. Presley Carpenter started the outburst by reaching on an error setting the stage for eight hits, that included four doubles and a triple. Sally Keiffer scored Carpenter with the first of the “two baggers”  followed by Aldy getting a base hit. A McCormick double plated two before she scored on Wyatt’s double. Gray tripled to right field for another run and then scored when Sullivan lined a single to make the score 11-1. A single by Parks and a walk to Brelaina Hall loaded the bases. Brooklyn Keiffer then brought them all in with a shot to center field before the inning ended when she was thrown out attempting to take third. The game was called due to the “mercy rule” in the bottom of third after Carpenter and Sally Keiffer scored on an error and a passed ball. Wyatt allowed only two hits and did not allow an earned run for the third straight time in district play to earn the win.
