Cornerstone cruises to title

Wire-to-wire league leaders Cornerstone captured the tournament championship in the youth division of the Warren County Church Softball League Tuesday night, scoring eight runs in the fourth inning en route to a 14-2 win over Covenant.

The league champions, who finished with just one loss for the entire summer, answered an early Covenant run with two of their own in the bottom of the first thanks to an inside-the-park home run from Jacob George.

They added four more runs in the second inning, then blew the game open in the fourth thanks to nine hits, including inside-the-park homers from George and Bill Raider.

George finished 3-for-3 at the plate, while Dakota Ware, Stephen Solomon, Jeff Duncan, Brady Powers and Jeremy Duncan added two hits apiece.

Covenant was led by two hits each off the bats of Justin Crittenden and David Reed.

New Hope won the youth division’s sportsmanship award for the 2007 season.
