Summit 7, Stark 6, 8 Innings

The Summit County All-Stars defeated the Stark County All-Stars 7-6 in a thrilling 8 Inning All-Star game at Akron Firestone Stadium Wednesday. Norton’s Brook Robinson drove in the game-winning run for the Summit County All-Stars.

The Lady Leopards had the largest representation of any school on the Stark County All-Star team and were eclipsed overall only by the Springfield Beatty's Sports Softball Shirt 2013Spartans’ five players participating for the Summit County All-Star team. Katie Cozy delivered a base-hit early on in the contest and Gianna Falcone also stroke out two batters. Chandler Rice was literally all over the field as she played second base, center field, and right field to perfection. Annie Woolf was also a backstop behind the plate for the Stark County and got on base via a walk as well. Finally, Stark County’s head coach was Louisville’s very own Chet Givens who showed off his own fielding skills by bare handing a sharply hit foul ball in the dugout.

The Stark County All-Stars took a 4-2 advantage into the fifth inning when Summit county exploded for four runs. Stark County rallied by scoring a run in both the fifth and the sixth to tie the game. The tying run came when Canton Central Catholic’s Katelyn Gambone scored via a wild pitch for the second time in the game. Gambone also had two hits for Stark.

After a scoreless seventh inning, the game headed to extra innings where the International Tie-Breaker rule was implemented. Thus, each team would start with a runner on second. Summit County took advantage of this when Robinson singled home what proved to be the game-winning run in the top of the eighth. Great fielding on a double steal in the bottom of the inning allowed Summit County to escape with the 8-7 win.
