Alexandria’s Ashley Phillips had a memorable senior night for the Cubs softball team.

The senior set an AHSAA record with 8 RBIs in an inning and tied a national record by belting 2 grand slams in a 15-0 win over Cleburne County on Thursday.

Phillips hit the 2 grand slams in the second inning after stroking a double in the first.

“We were all just sitting there going ‘I don’t believe what we just saw,’” said Alexandria coach Brain Hess. “I don’t think she had any idea what had happened. She was just playing.”

The previous AHSAA record was 7 RBIs in an inning. The 2 grand slams in an inning is also the first reported in AHSAA history and ties an NFHS record.

The Jacksonville State signee leads Class 5A top-ranked Alexandria (37-8) with 14 home runs on the season and 74 RBIs.

The game capped off a productive week for Phillips, who also belted 2 home runs on Monday against Pleasant Valley.
