Orange Beach has only had its softball program for two years. During that span, the Makos are 66-18 overall and have won back-to-back state titles.
Updated: May. 21, 2022, 5:12 p.m. |ByWith her team tied with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning in the state championship game, Beebe quickly glanced from across the field to third from her perch on first base, and saw the bag abandoned without a defender on site.
Beebe’s astute awareness set the stage for Daigle Wilson’s walk-off single to left field as the top-ranked Makos earned a 2-1 walk-off victory over No. 4 Mars Hill in today’s Class 2A Championship at Oxford’s Choccolocco Park. Both clubs were held in check the next three innings before the Panthers tied the game at one run apiece in the top of the fifth. A lead-off walk put Anna Jacobs on base, who scored three at-bats later on a successful bunt single from Dylan McDaniel.
“It all depends on who I’ve got there and who I’ve got there,” Alexander said. “She made the right read and we took a chance. Sometimes you got to do that. First through sixth inning wasn’t working so we had to figure something out. It paid off.” Mars Hill got a runner on base with one out in the sixth, but was unable to take the lead on a strikeout and foul out to end the inning. The Panthers were sat down in order in the seventh on consecutive groundouts and a final strikeout from Orange Beach starting pitcher KG Favors.Favors. The freshman pitcher earned Class 2A MVP honors in leading the Makos to a 4-0 record through the state tournament. She did not record a hit at the plate, but dealt her damage on the mound.
