Carroll County High School girls tennis sent their seniors off with a win Friday night, as Carroll defeated Spencer County, 4-0, in a pro set match. The No. 3 singles match was rained out.

The Panthers were leading 2-1 when the rain disrupted the No. 1 doubles match. They were going to have to forfeit the No. 2 doubles match, putting them in a 2-2 tie with Spencer.

Senior Evan McMahan hit the game-winning home run over the left field fence as Carroll County earned its fourth-walk off win of the season, defeating Boone County 8-6 April 27.

McMahan almost hit for the cycle, going 3-4 with a single, double and home run and three RBIs. David Duncan picked up the win in relief.

McMahan had a rough start on the mound, as the Panthers got behind early. Two lead off singles and a double scored Boone County’s first run, and a sacrifice fly brought in a second run in the top of the first.

Carroll County softball dropped a 9-5 decision to Walton-Verona, April 24.

This was another game in which head coach Chelsie Roy thought the team was capable of playing better. “What upsets me is our mistakes are what we work on in practice,” Roy said. “We have to get tougher mentally. We cannot carry what happens during our at-bats in to the field and we cannot carry our fielding to our at-bats.”
