Sumiton Christian’s Cadi Oliver won five games on the mound and hit .607 at the plate to lead the Lady Eagles to a second-place finish at the Gulf Shores Shootout.

The Lady Eagles played 10 games in the three-day event before losing to 6A Sparkman 12-1 in the championship game on Wednesday.

“The girls worked really hard,” Sumiton Christian coach Jessica Aderholt said. “On Wednesday, our field got behind right at the beginning. We only had about a 10-minute break between games. The girls played hard and got to the championship game. We ran out of gas at the end, but I’m very proud of them.”
