SHARPSBURG-In the first four innings of their game Thursday with the South Forsyth War Eagles, the East Coweta Indians could not find an answer for pitcher Will Foy.
In three innings, the junior hurler retired the Indians in order while Jaquez Williams kept him from a perfect game when he reached on a fourth inning walk as the bats of the latter were hitting balls at a fielder.
Foy's domination of the Indians disappeared in the bottom of the fifth inning as they scored all of their runs in a 6-2 come from behind victory for the Indians.
Foy and Indians starter Dalton Chocallo appeared to be locked in a pitching duel through the first two innings as neither team was able to get on the scoreboard.
That changed in the top of the third inning, as the Indians committed three errors which allowed both runs to score for the War Eagles and gave the team from Cumming a 2-0 lead.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Indians finally got to Foy as Williams reached on a bloop single and Austin Jones was hit by a pitch and with one out, Cary Holloway to the plate with a chance to put EC on the board.
The junior shortstop came through as lined a double to left field that scored pinchrunners Reagan Thomas and Graden Treadwell to tie the game at 2-2.
Holloway's heroics caused the War Eagles to make a pitching change and the move backfired as pinchhitter Makenzie Martin walked and Cameron Smith followed with a single that scored Holloway with the lead run for the Indians.
Gemmel followed with a two-run single amd Matthew Meyer completed the scoring with an RBI double to left field.
After five innings, Chocallo was lifted in favor of Mason Meyer who made his high school debut a success with two innings of solid relief despite hitting two batters in the seventh that didn;t get past second base.
The game came to an end when elder brother Matthew caught a foul popfly at third base.
A trio of games face the Indians in the coming week as they will host Lamar County on February 25 and will host Whitewater the following day before a February 28 game at Fayette County.
