Beckley Babe Ruth teams clash tonight for District title

The Beckley Babe Ruth League National and American division All Stars meet at Lewinfield at 8 pm to decide the District 5 championship with the winner advancing to the State Babe Ruth tournament in Parkersburg August 1 and 2. The doubleheader features a 2-1 semifinal win by West Greenbrier over Beckley and a 10-4 Beckley victory over Oak Hill in the nightcap, led by late-game dramatics and strong pitching. The National team overcame a late Greenbrier surge with two Greenbrier errors aiding Beckley’s decisive run. In the second game Ellison pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings for Beckley, driving in three, with Sorenson homering for Beckley as Oak Hill’s bats cooled.
