AMORY – Mak McAlester has grown accustomed to stepping up in big moments for the Lady Panthers this season, and she did just that during Saturday’s game against Mooreville.
The sophomore catcher delivered a walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth to keep Amory’s season alive and force a Game 3 with a 4-3 win.
