Warren, Carter, pitching lead to EC shutout over Pike County

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL


Lindsay Warren and Madison Carter had two hits and scored a run while Rachel Vaughn and Morgan Goree combined on a three-hitter as the East Coweta Lady Indians shutout the Pike County Lady Pirates 5-0 Monday in a non-region softball game played in Sharpsburg.
The win was the third in a row for the Lady Indians who improved to 15-2 while the Lady Pirates fell to 12-8.
The game was a scoreless duel between Vaughn and Goree of EC and Jenna Little of Pike County until the bottom of the fourth inning when EC scored a pair of runs to take the lead.
Carter opened the frame by reaching on a bunt single, stole second and moved to third on a single by Katey Lynch and came home on a single to left by Hailey Baswell.
After Lynch and courtesy runner Olivia Davis advanced to base on a sacrifice by Lauren Liebe, Vaughn followed by grounding out to second base allowing Lynch to come home with the second run of the inning.
The Lady Indians added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning as Ashlyn Gunter led off with a walk and advanced to second on a single by Warren before moving to third on an errant throw into the infield.
Meanwhile, Warren stole second base ahead of a single by Shemiah Sanchez that scored Gunter before taking home on a throwing error.
The final run of the game came in the bottom of the sixth inning as Liebe reached on a leadoff single and pinch-runner Shyenne Bell moved on a sacrifice by Vaughn before coming home on Warren's two-out double to left field.
That was enough for Goree who retired the side in order to seal the win for the Lady Indians.
Meanwhile, EC was looking for a sweep as the junior varsity game between the two schools followed but the game was called off in the top of the second inning as several lightning strikes were seen nearby.
Next for the Lady Indians will be a key Region 3-AAAAAA contest at home against the Newnan Lady Cougars..
