Thomas Heyward Academy: The Rebels went 2-0 at the Santa Fe Invitational in Gainesville, Fla., before heavy rains washed out the rest of the tournament.

Thomas Heyward (13-1) was one inning into its third game when storms hit and canceled the rest of the event. According to Rebels coach Bob Layman, it appeared as though the Rebels and Bluffton High School were on a crash course to meet in the finals.

Thomas Heyward notched a 7-1 win over Suwannee High School of Live Oak, Fla., and then defeated Calvary Christian Academy of Fort Lauderdale, 9-2.

"It was a real good tournament," Rebels coach Bob Layman said. "These were good teams with good pitchers. We really stepped up."

Ashlie Layman had a pair of doubles and four RBIs against Suwannee, and also was the winning pitcher. She gave up six hits and no earned runs while striking out four in seven innings. Brianna Kelnhofer went 3 for 4, Taylor Ernestine was 1 for 2 with an RBI, and Jamie Malphrus also went 1 for 2.

In the win over Calvary Christian, Layman threw a two-hitter. She had seven strikeouts and allowed no earned runs.

Kayla Canavan was 2 for 4 with three RBIs, and Chandler Cook and Caitlyn Cooler each had two hits and two RBIs.

The Rebels play at Wilson Hall in Sumter on Tuesday.
