EAST COWETA 11 DOUGLAS COUNTY 1 (game one)             

EAST COWETA 4 DOUGLAS COUNTY 0 (game two)

DOUGLASVILLE-Zack McCurry and Austin Bellamy took care of the pitching end while Cameron Smith, Bryce Gemmel and their friends took care of the hitting as the East Coweta Indians swept a Region 3-AAAAAA doubleheader from the Douglas County Tigers.
In game one, McCurry and Jay Mann combined on a two-hitter as the Indians broke open a close game in the latter stages to come away with an 11-1 victory while Bellamy allowed one hit over seven innings of a 4-0 victory in the nightcap.
The Indians are now 15-0 overall and 5-0 in the region as the two teams prepare to meet Wednesday evening in Sharpsburg.
The Indians took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as Smith led off the game with a single, stole second and advanced around the bases on groundouts by Gemmel and Cole Antmann.
The Tigers tied the game in the bottom of the inning as Connor Maroney was hit by a pitch and eventually scored the tying run on an infield error.
In the top of the fourth inning, the Indians reclaimed the lead in a big way with five runs that gave them a 6-1 cushion.
Geremy Walton reached first on an error, Matthew Meyer walked and Blake Lorow reached on a fielder's choice with Meyer forced out at second.
Walton scored on a bunt single by Travis Williams and courtesy runner Graydon Treadwell would come home on a bases loaded walk to Smith.
Gemmel followed with a two-run double and Antmann completed the scoring in the inning with a sacrifice fly that brought Smith home.
The five-run cushion was enough for McCurry who retired 16 of his last 18 batters only giving up a walk and a single while retiring 10 batters on strikes.
Meanwhile, the Indians added two more runs in the top of the sixth inning as Smith singled, stole second and moved to third on a throwing error before coming home on a single by Gemmel who would steal second and advance to third before coming home on a wild pitch.
In the top of the seventh inning the Indians added to the margin with three more runs 11-1 lead as Meyer doubled and Lorow singled before leaving in favor of pinch-runners who would score.
Gemmel followed with a two out double and the final run of the game when Jordan Lewis had a two-out single.
After six strong innings, McCurry was relieved by Mann who didn't disappoint as he retired the side in order in the bottom of the seventh inning.
In the nightcap, the Indians did most of their damage in the top of the first inning with three runs as Smith singled and Gemmel walked with each stealing a base before coming home on a double by Banks who scored on a single by Walton.
The lead was fine for Bellamy who retired the first nine batters of the contest before giving up a single to Moroney in the bottom of the fourth inning and a walk to the same batter in the bottom of the sixth.
Bellamy would record seven strikeouts on his way to the complete game victory.
The Indians fourth run of the game came when Antmann led off the top of the seventh with a single, a steal of second an advancement of third on a single by Walton before stealing home.
Smith was 3-for-4 at the plate in the game and 5-for-8 in the doubleheader while Walton and Banks each had two safeties in the finale.
