The Abbeville Christian softball team earned another state championship trophy Monday afternoon.
The Lady Generals made it consecutive AISA Class A state titles, beating Crenshaw Christian 7-0 in the finals at Montgomery’s Lagoon Park.“To be a senior and know that either way it was going to be your last game ever, it feels good to know that we won it and we are back-to-back state champions,” Emma Roberts said.“It does feel a little bit different because I am a senior, but it is still amazing to win two back-to-back state championships,” Kennedy said.
“It is a remarkable feeling, a remarkable season,” said first-year head coach David Willis, who took over as head coach two days before the season started as previous coach Guy Causey had to step away because of work commitments. “To be able to coach my daughter and to win a state title in the same year, I couldn’t ask for anything better.
The biggest hit of the tournament actually came in Monday’s winners’ bracket game against Crenshaw. Tied 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Hope Kennedy, an eighth grader, delivered a walk-off run-scoring single to score Paige Welch, who opened the inning with a double. A year ago during their state title, the Generals didn’t have a senior. This year’s team is a little more experienced with three seniors, something that was a big difference, said Hannah Kennedy.
Crenshaw led 3-0 after a two-run top of the third, but ACA cut the gap with a run in the bottom of the third and evened it at 3 all with two runs in the bottom of the fifth on a Hartzog two-run double.
