An 8-year-old all-star softball team from Chelsea finished with a 4-2 record in the National Softball Association state tournament June 24-26 in Orange Beach.
The Chelsea all-stars won two area tournaments and a region tournament to earn the right to compete in the state tournament. The team entered the state tournament with a perfect 16-0 record and finished with a 20-2 mark during the all-star season.
Chelsea dropped games against Monrovia and Hueytown by a total of two runs at the state tournament. The tournament season ended with 16-15 loss to Hueytown in an extra-inning game. Monrovia won the state tournament and Hueytown finished runner-up.
“The girls accomplished a lot,” said coach Darell Eidson. “We faced very good competition. Six teams could have won the title.”
