Gentle leading WSCS title bid
Hartselle’s Katie Gentle and the Wallace State Community College softball team are once again pursuing a Division 1 NJCAA National softball Championship.
The Lady War Hawks will compete for the title in St. George, Utah May 15-18, after claiming their second straight ACCC state title with a 7-5 win over Shelton State.
The finals of the national tournament will be televised live at www.NJCAA.org.
Gentle is ranked nationally in four offensive categories: 10th with a .484 batting average, 27th with 64 RBIs, 35th with 14 home runs and 48th with 24 stolen bases.
She was named to the all-league, all-region and all-tournament teams and is the first Wallace State player to receive the honor of being named back-to-back NJCAA National Player of the Week.
