Wayne Christian takes state title
Brittany Sullivan had seen a steady diet of off-speed pitches from Cape Fear Christian right-hander Olivia Scarborough in three meetings this season.
Sullivan, in fact, never touched a base. The Wayne Christian catcher seemed destined for the same outcome Saturday afternoon after going hitless during her first two at-bats. But her third plate appearance ended in a different -- and satisfying -- result.
Scarborough threw an inside fastball, Sullivan took a full cut and laced a two-RBI double down the third-base line.
"She's had my number all year," grinned Sullivan. "She knows I can't hit a changeup and always throws me that as a first pitch. I just waited on it (this time) and was surprised when I saw the fastball."
Sullivan's extra-base knock capped a four-run, fifth-inning uprising and catapulted Wayne Christian to a 5-2 victory over Cape Fear Christian in the N.C.

If countries such as Haiti, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, with about 5 million people and per capita incomes of approximately $500, were on your To Do list, The Beginner's Guide to Nation-Building estimates that you would need 65,000 international troops, at an annual cost of $13 billion.
In addition, you should plan for 8,000 international police officers ($1.25 billion) and lots of advisers to help establish the rule of law, provide humanitarian services, assist in governance, stabilize the economy, teach democratization, and support development and infrastructure work, for a total cost of some $15.6 billion a year.
