Panthers cruise in Battle opener
082313 SHS PORTAL SOFTBALL 01 WEB
Portal's Madison Bishop slides safely into home to put the Panthers up by two runs in the third inning against Statesboro at Mill Creek Park on Friday. Portal's victory was one of the first games to kick off this weekend's Battle in the Boro round robin high school softball tournament. The battle continues today. Tickets are $5 and are good for the entire day.
For the second time in as many tries, Keri Carter was able to keep the Statesboro bats at bay to give the Portal Lady Panthers a win. Last week, Carter was summoned into a relief role in a thrilling 15-14 comeback victory for Portal (2-2). On Friday afternoon, the Blue Devils and Panthers squared off in the opening game of the Battle in the ‘Boro at Mill Creek Regional Park.
