INMAN, S.C. – The district round of the 3A softball playoffs cranked up on Wednesday as the Chapman Panthers played host to the fourth-seeded Clinton Red Devils. A dominant outing in the circle and numerous contributions at the plate propelled the Lady Panthers to a 20-0 shutout victory over the Red Devils in five innings.
It all started in the pitcher’s circle for Chapman as right-hander Reagan Garrett was dominant, surrendering only one hit – a flare to shallow right in the first – while compiling nine strikeouts in the complete game effort, including six in a row spanning the first to third innings. Chapman found a groove in the second by sending 11 up to bat and scoring seven runs. Abbie Skipper (courtesy runner for Garrett) scored on a Sophie Whitley double to left center, followed by a Rylan Ivey RBI opposite field triple to right that plated Whitley. Kayla Hardin drove in Ivey for a three run Panther lead. Autumn Fisher and Sarah Byrd each tallied a two-RBI single, extending the lead to 7-0 after two innings. The Panthers tacked on nine runs in the third that included a Krislyn Wilder RBI groundout, Byrd two-RBI triple to right, and a Sam McPhail RBI base knock. Chapman also scored four more times in the fourth, featuring a two-run shot to left-center by Garrett that provided the final margin. At the plate, Byrd recorded three hits in four at-bats, three runs scored, and a game-high five runs batted in. Whitley was 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored, while Ivey also went 2-for-3 with two triples and three runs scored. All nine starters for Chapman scored at least one run in the contest. Chapman (19-5) will return to action on Friday at home against the Seneca/Palmetto winner. Further information regarding the start time was not available at the time this story was published.
