(A very special) GAME DAY!  (4/16/2019)

The Alto Yellowjackets (11-8 | 6-2) will take the field for the first time since the 2 devastating tornadoes ripped through our town.  School is still closed.  SFA has offered their field in a much-appreciated gesture since our field is unplayable.  The Jackets will celebrate SENIOR NIGHT and play the #6 Douglass Indians (16-1 | 7-1) at 6:00 tonight in District 22-2A action.  Hope folks can take a break from the clean-up and enjoy a high school ball game. (free admission)

NEXT UP:

Thursday, 4/18/19
     * 4:30 p.m. - JV:  Alto JV @ Groveton JV
     * 7:00 p.m. - VARSITY:  Alto @ Groveton

District 22-2A Standings.jpg

Close ballgame between Cushing and Groveton... with 2 outs and bases loaded in bottom of the 7th ballgame ends when Gabe Leblanc hits a ball to deep left center and the centerfield catches up with ball and appears to make the catch but rolls over head first and 2nd base umpire rules that the ball came out of his gloves before hiring the ground.  Controversial but Cushing gets the win.

Rule 5.09(a)(1)  

It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides
with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball. 

The ball clearly came out.
