The DeKalb Little league was in action last week with some games being played as make-up games. The league’s schedule had been disrupted by bad weather earlier in the season.  Some of the resulting match-ups saw replacement players from other teams.
On June 24, DeKalb Depot met Rice’s Tigers in a game that got out of hand early for the Tigers.
DeKalb Depot’s Dusty Drennan and Elijah Hall started off the scoring for the game, each coming in with a run in the first inning. Drennan and Hall would repeat in the second inning, joining Tanner Poss, Isaac Hall, and Luke Oliver.
The Tigers would finally get on the board as they came to bat in the second, with Garrett Driver, Jacob Williams, and Grayson Redmon each touching home base, but Drennan, Oliver, Elijah Hall, and Dylan Cripps would each get a score for DeKalb in the third.  Kobie Snipes and Justin Washer came in with runs for the Tigers in the third, but it was not enough. DeKalb Depot got the win, 11-5.
Tanner Poss pitched the entire game for DeKalb Depot, throwing 74. For the Tigers, Daniel Puckett was the starting pitcher, throwing 22.  Jadyn Young then came in and threw 61 before Alex Snipes ended the game, throwing nine.
That same evening Webb’s Pharmacy took on Liberty Machine. The game was all Webb’s through the first three innings before Liberty Machine finally got on the board.
For Webb’s Luke Oliver touched home in the first inning, and again in the second along with Colter Norris, Grayson Redmon, and Jadyn Young. Oliver, Redmon, and Young would touch home again in the third, along with Logan Johnson and Noah Roberts.
