The road, now officially “Ashley-Bowman Boulevard,” begins at the Sumter Gate on U.S. 378 and St. Paul’s Church Road and continues on the base to Dryden Way. The road was named in memory of Lt. Col. Willie Lee Ashley and 1st Sgt. Leroy Bowman, who both grew up in Sumter and later flew in World War II. A memorial for the Tuskeg- ee Airmen, including a static display of a fighter aircraft, will be erected on the City of Sumter’s Shaw Park, located nearby during a future up- grade to the park now in the planning stages.

American legion Baseball Hartsville Murrells Inlet rallies ends Junior P-15’s season to beat P-15’s 10-6 with 12-5 win B Y EDDIE LITAKER Short-handed Post 178 stays aliver in state playoffs Special to The Item After coming away with a 10-0, 5-inning mercy-rule win in the opening game of their best-of-3 Junior American Legion baseball second- round state playoff series against Hartsville, it seemed a given that the Sumter Ju- nior P-15’s would make it to the state tournament. A 4-3 loss in Kelleytown on Wednesday cast a dark cloud over that almost certainty, necessitating a trip to Lake- wood High School’s baseball field Thursday evening for another attempt to complete the task. The runs weren’t quite as easy to come by for Sumter on this night as the Junior P-15’s dug themselves an early hole and could never get the upper hand, with Hartsville putting up seven runs in the seventh to pull away for a 12-5 win. Three batters into the Post 53 third, P-15 starter Jacob Holliday came out trailing 3-0 with a runner on third. Hartsville plated a run in the second and had just put across two more in the third on a 2-run double from Kes- hawn McDonald, who took third as leftfielder Daniel Reynolds’ throw sailed over the head of catcher Corey Blackley. McDonald’s hit scored Deriyan Pendergrass, who singled up the middle to open the frame, and Mason Keith Gedamke / The Sumter Item Gainey, who bunted his way Murrells Inlet’s Seth Stephens (22) scrambles back into second base between Sumter second baseman Ryan Moore, front, and short- on. stop Dawson Price in the P-15’s 10-6 loss on Thursday at Riley Park in their second-round state playoff series game.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL New SEC East coaches play catch-up with West powers

By JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press

HOOVER, Ala. — The SEC East is relying heavily on three former Nick Saban as- sistants to restore balance to the league. The division that once reigned with the likes of Steve Spurrier, Phillip Ful- mer, Mark Richt and Urban Meyer hasn’t won a South- eastern Conference title in eight years.
