Murray State softball’s momentum came to an abrupt end in a three-game series against Jacksonville State University. The Racers failed to come away with a single win, dropping all three games to the Gamecocks.
Game One
The Racers got off to a weak start in the first game of the series as the Gamecocks came up with a 9-1 mercy-rule win in the fifth inning.
The Gamecocks wasted no time in the first inning, getting runners on second and third base in quick succession and putting ducks on the pond for senior outfielder Jada Terry, who hit a three-run home run to give the Gamecocks a 3-0 lead.
Gadsden will soon lose a landmark, but there s a plan to give the city a new green space in its place for now a park area that will enhance the area and benefit the community.
When Alabama Teachers Credit Union purchased the old Coca-Cola bottling building on Walnut Street, President/CEO Ron Summerall said the plan was to preserve a piece of Gadsden’s past.
The vision was to use a portion of the nearly 100-year-old facility for credit union operations, and to dedicate the remaining portions to helping potential new businesses prosper in Gadsden.
Alabama Teachers had hoped to work with experts toward developing a small business incubator program, or a co-work space, to help foster new business growth, Summerall said.
