Baseball’s second season is well underway for Moncks Corner’s Park and Rec All-Stars.

The Dixie Youth 11-12 All-Stars and the Dixie Minor 9-10 All Stars hosted all-star teams from Clarendon County last week.

“Our two all-star teams will host a couple scrimmages before playing in tournaments in mid-July,” said Park and Rec athletic director Ralph Jones. “We hosted the teams from Clarendon County tonight … and then we’ll cook hot dogs afterwards for the kids.”

Both the Dixie Youth and Dixie Minor ball clubs easily won their scrimmages though the scoreboards were turned off after the fourth inning. Hot dogs, chips and drinks were served to more than 60 baseball players and their families following the scrimmages.

“These two teams are really good this year,” said Park and Rec director DeWayne Kitts. “There are some really good ball players coming out of this program.”

The All-Star tournament for both Dixie Youth and Dixie Minor teams begin the week after July 4 in Hanahan. Specific game times have yet to be determined.

The Ponytails softball team was eliminated in tournament play last weekend losing to Hanahan by a score of 7-3.

“The team was competitive in every game played,” Jones said.

The Ponytails All-Stars are Carrie Dorman, Jenna Etheridge, Olivia Grooms, Sarah Hill, Madison Lail, Colleen Lambert, Amanda Legnard, Lauren Mitchum, Dana Olheiser, Payton Pinson, Chelsea Shuler and Hunter Wauhop. Coaches are Dennis Lambert, Brandon Olheiser and Ray Pinson.

The Dixie Minor All-Stars are Ridge Baggett, Elvis Black, Taylor Bond, Caleb Crawford, Matthew Dress, Nathan McPherson, Philip Mims, Jantsen Robertson, Mason Scott, Cody Stone, Austin Wilkins and Austin Wyndham. Coaches are Mike Wilkins, Rodney Wyndham and Wilson Baggett.

The Dixie Youth All-Stars are Dylan Baker, Joseph Dress, Sean Fye, Luke Hutto, Kyle Morrison, Eric Orton, Craig Mims, Dillon Salisbury, Matthew Segovia, Bryce Singletary, Hunter Singletary and Devin Williamson. Coaches are Carey Salisbury, Con Salisbury and Ned Dress.
