MT. HERMON, N.C. Southern Alamance is going to the third round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) 3A softball playoffs following a walk-off victory.
The Patriots won a 5-4 thriller against the defending 3A state champions Eastern Alamance on Wednesday night. Southern Alamance saw its four-run edge slip during the sixth inning, but stayed true to the course and walked it off with one down in the seventh.
Brianna Gallagher, a junior center fielder for SA, was able to please the home crowd with an RBI double against Eastern junior pitcher Kenna Raye Dark towards the left field corner on the warning track. That two-bag hit allowed sophomore Greta Hessenthaler (five-pitch walk) to score all the way from first base.

Heather Vaughn is the founder of The Yes Girls, a marriage proposal service based in San Clemente, California.
Since 2008, she s helped couples plan the proposal of their dreams, ranging in cost from $1,000 to over $100,000.
Here s what her job is like, as told to freelancer writer Molly O Brien.
I ve always been someone who likes a challenge. I started my company right after graduating college in 2008, when I was only 22 years old.
It wasn t an ideal economy to be looking for a job or launching a brand new business most people were just trying to keep their jobs but personally I ve found that if you really believe in what you re offering and are also meeting a need, then it can work.
