In the last home game of the season for the Scorpions, which was also celebrated as Senior Night, the only senior on the team, Haley Davis, hit her first-ever home run to help the Scorpions win over their divisional and cross-valley rivals.
The Sedona Red Rock softball team [5-7] beat the Camp Verde Cowboys [6-7], 9-8 on Friday, April 12, at Sedona Red Rock High School in front of a big crowd — and they made senior night an exciting one.
The overconfident Cowboys had the lead until the Scorpions surprised them with their hitting in a fifth-inning seven-run burst. The Cowboys came back within one run and were in a scoring position, but the Scorpions ended the game with a strikeout.
“It’s a big win for us,” SRRHS Head Coach John Parks said. “It was defense, defense, defense. We made all of the catches. Really, this is a game of catch and if you catch the ball, you will be in most games. So we did a nice job of catching the ball today, made all of the big outs and then we got some clutch hits.”
