Hartselle’s 8U All-Star softball team made a clean sweep of the 2012 World Series Tournament at Robertsdale, defeating the Bad Company of Slidell, La. 8-1 in the championship game on Sun. July 18.

Karsi Lentz had a big hand in changing the course of the game as she belted a 3-run home run in the bottom of the first inning with Hartselle trailing 0-1. After than it was all Hartselle.

Team members celebrated their victory by dousing head coach Shannon Ferguson with a cooler of Gatorade. Then they received a handsome team trophy in addition to individual trophies.
