TRUSSVILLE–A pitcher’s duel broke out as the Helena Huskies and Pelham Panthers faced-off in a Friday afternoon game at Hewitt Trussville High School where the Panthers mustered just enough offense to defeat the Huskies 2-0.
Pelham’s Connor Radcliff recorded the win for the Panthers. Radcliff pitched 7 innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits on the night. Radcliff also struck out six while recording no walks.
Helena’s Riley Davis pitched a gem as well, pitching 7 innings and allowing just two runs while striking out three.

Pelham’s Boomer Murchison singled in the 4th inning to score Tyler Wilburn to give Pelham a 1-0 lead.
Pelham’s Hunter Stovall began the top of the 6th inning with a lead off double and later in the inning Reid Gardner would hit an RBI single to drive in Stovall to stretch the lead to 2-0.
Stovall and Gardner each finished the game with two hits for Pelham.
