RALEIGH — East Surry put itself one game away from a third straight North Carolina 1A Softball state title Friday night with a pair of impressive wins over Swain County and Midway. Cardinal ace Hayley Shelton, a two-time state tourna- ment MVP, was once again at the top of her game when it mattered most. Shelton struck out 12 in the opener against Swain and allowed just one hit to help the Cardinals to a 1-0 win. Against Midway in the second game of the night, Shelton struck out seven and walked three but gave up six hits, in the Cardinals’ 2-0 win. Last season, Swain and East Surry met in a 14-inning marathon, with the Maroon Devils besting the Cards 1-0. This time, it was East who did just enough to pick up the all-important win. Swain pitcher Shelby Parker and Shelton dueled to a dead heat through the first six innings, with East Surry having a slight edge on the ability to put the ball in play. In the top of the sixth, Shelton walked Swain’s biggest bat in Kayla Myers to start the inning. The Maroon Devils then called for a bunt, and when no play could be made on the ball, Swain had runners on first and second with one out. After both runners moved up on a Shelton wild pitch, East coach Derrick Hill opted to walk Bop Walkingstick, another of Swain’s top batters. Walkingstick made the decision a little harder for Hill, as she swung at several pitches outside the strike zone to push the balls and strikes to a full count. Shelton eventual- ly walked her and the bases were loaded with one out. But Shelton showed why she and the Cardinals are the two-time defending state champs, as she struck out the next batter and forced a pop up to second baseman Saman- tha Smith to get out of the jam. Hill said he was not surprised at all at the way the game went with Swain, but did say he was a little surprised the Swain coaching staff opted to pitch to Bullington, the Car- dinals RBI leader on the season. THOMAS SMITH/THE NEWS “We weren’t going to let the Walkingstick kid beat us,” (Above) East Surry’s Hill said. “She put the ball in play against us several times Samantha Smith slaps a last year and we know Myers, Walkingstick and Parker are single against Swain their best hitters and we said coming down here we weren’t going to let those kids beat us. We walked Myers a Friday. (At right) Hayley couple of times and walked Walkingstick on purpose. We Shelton delivers a pitch decided we were better off with the people behind her. If against Swain Friday. one of them gets a base hit and beats us, then we’ll live with that. That’s why I am surprised they pitched to Julie. Shelton struck out 12 in I wouldn’t have.” the Cardinals 1-0 win. Shelton said she was not happy about giving up the first walk or the wild pitch, but said she didn’t panic because she had confidence in her teammates. “I walked more than I would have liked to but some- times that happens,” she said. “I know my defense is be- hind me.
