Riverside Academy senior softball pitcher/first baseman Alainah Felton has committed to play softball for Southern University in Baton Rouge.

Felton has been a member of the team since seventh grade. She is a three-time All-District player. She hit .500 as a junior with 12 doubles, three triples, 15 home runs and 64 RBIs.

“It’s close to home and it’s around stuff,” Felton said. “I didn’t want to be in the middle of nowhere and I know what’s around there. Plus, they have a good program.”

Felton will sign her National Letter of Intent at a later date.
