Autumn Davis and Haven Kirby combined to give Elkmont a Class 3A, Area 15 tournament championship Friday night, Davis with her pitching and Kirby with the bat.

Davis allowed just three hits in a complete-game effort while Kirby doubled and homered as the Red Devils took a 3-1 victory over the Eagles in the tournament championship game.

It was the third time the two teams played each other Friday, with Elkmont defeating East Lawrence in the tournament semifinal 11-1 that afternoon. East Lawrence then won the loser’s bracket final over West Morgan to advance to the championship game against Elkmont, and defeated the Red Devils 5-2 to set up a final game in the double-elimination tournament.

East Lawrence got on the board first with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning, but Elkmont came right back in the top of the fifth with two runs. Kirby drove in the first run with a triple before she later scored on a sacrifice fly by Hannah Usery.

Kirby added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning when she hit a solo home run to left field. That was all Davis needed, as she dominated in the circle, holding East Lawrence to no earned runs while striking out seven batters and only walking two.

Kirby finished with three of Elkmont’s five hits, with Davis and Shelby Norman having the other two.

The Red Devils (28-14-1) will face North Jackson in the first round of the North Regional at noon Friday. The regional takes place at the Huntsville Sportsplex.

Elkmont 11, East Lawrence 1

Elkmont advanced to the tournament championship game with a dominating victory over East Lawrence in the semifinal.

The Red Devils scored three runs in each of the first two innings, and Davis held the Eagles to just one hit in the victory.

Kirby led Elkmont with three hits, including a double, while Brilee Miller homered and drove in four runs for the Red Devils in the five-inning victory.

Davis and Usery also each had two hits and an RBI for Elkmont, with one of Davis’ hits being a double.

East Lawrence 5, Elkmont 2

East Lawrence forced a winner-take-all championship game with a victory over Elkmont in the final series of the double-elimination tournament.

Because Elkmont had no losses in the tournament and East Lawrence had one, the Eagles needed to defeat the Red Devils twice Friday night to take the tournament title.

The Eagles scored two runs in the top of the first inning and three more in the fourth while Elkmont’s two runs came in the bottom of the fourth.

Alli Griffis led Elkmont with two hits, including a double, and two RBIs, while Kirby also had two hits for the Red Devils, including a double.

Class 5A, Area 16

Russellville 9, East Limestone 4

East Limestone’s season came to an end with a 9-4 loss to Russellville in the semifinals of the Class 5A, Area 16 tournament Friday.

Russellville jumped out to a 5-0 lead before East Limestone got back in the game with three runs in the top of the sixth inning. However, the Golden Tigers answered with four runs in the bottom of the sixth to put the game away.

Kayleigh Tribble, Savannah Tyler and Kaci Sharp each had two hits for East Limestone, with one of Tribble’s hits being a solo home run.

Mallory Jo Mitchell, Olivia Crouch and Emily Broussard had the other RBIs for the Indians.
