BAY MINETTE, Alabama — Baldwin County High School’s Lady Tigers held an all-day softball marathon, which included a homerun contest, lunch plates and a game pitting the team against alumni players.

BCHS alum Wallace Gilberry also stopped by to sign autographs. While he may be more comfortable on the football field, Gilberry tried his hand at hitting a fast-pitch softball. BCHS pitcher Kahalley Brooks got a handful of strikes past Wallace before he finally hit one out of the park at during the softball marathon.

Wallace plays football for the Cincinnati Bengals and also played for the University of Alabama after finishing up at BCHS.

The day also included some recognitions. Kahalley Brooks was the Homerun Contest winner and also named Miss BCHS Varsity. The Miss BCHS Junior Varsity was Emory Davison. Ava Worthy was the Fielding Contest winner.

At the start of the day, Delisssa Witherington of Woodmen Life Insurance presented a new American flag to Coach Anthony Cox that will be flown at the field.
