On this week’s episode of the Ballin4God podcast, we had two seniors from the Carterville Lions softball team, Caidence Phillips and Taryn Ford.Both are elite softball players, not just in our area, but across the country. Ford is committed to Wichita State and is a pitcher and utility player. Phillips is committed to Illinois as a pitcher-only player. They talked about the success of Carterville softball, the team chemistry and why the Lions have been so successful. Phillips also recently won our Player of the Week for April 27-May 2. Phillips pitched 14 innings, 33 K’s, 0 earned runs, allowed only 5 hits. She also hit two home runs and six RBI's.In our second interview, we had Jaylon Downey and Reed Robinson from the Waltonville/Sesser-Valier Spartans baseball team. Downey is a senior from Sesser-Valier, and he has put on a great show so far in his senior season. Downey won our Player of the Week for April 13-18 after batting 5/6 with two home runs, seven RBIs and an .810 on-base percentage.We also had sophomore Reed Robinson on the show. Robinson has been a big part of WSV the last two seasons. He played a lot of big innings on a WSV team that made the Elite Eight in Class 1A last year, and he is a big part of the team again this season.SPONSORS:ALL STARS-N-STITCHESREND LAKE CABINS IN THE WOODSFOLLOW US: Instagram: @B4G_SILTwitter: @ConwellRussellFacebook: Ballin4GodTikTok: B4G_SIL
