The Lady Cougars (15-11) will meet the East Coweta Lady Indians in the winners bracket game on Wednesday at 6:30 while the Lady Wildcats will face the Westlake Lady Lions at 4:30.

After Andrews retired the side in order to start the game, her teammates went to work after one out in the bottom of the frame.

Hailey Bloom reached on an error and Danielle Curlee reached on another fielding miscue which allowed Bloom to advance to third.

Both runners pulled off a double steal with Bloom coming home for Newnan’s first run of the contest.

Davis reached on a walk and Sarah Vallery singled past the second baseman to score Curlee for another run and Houston ended the scoring for the inning when she drilled a shot over the right center field fence for a three-run home run.

After another easy inning was tossed by Andrews, the Lady Cougars did more damage in the bottom of the second as Hannah Scarbrough joined the offensive party with an infield single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Bloom.

Curlee followed with a RBI triple then Davis followed by drilling her home run over the center field fence to give the Lady Cougars an 8-0 lead.

Vallery walked and advanced to second on an error as Ansley Houston reached first and Breanna Houston crossed the plate and Andrews aided her own cause with a two-run single.

Andrews was tagged out at single but an infield error allowed Darby Keene to reach base and the final run of the game to score when Scarbrough batted for the second time in the frame and responded with a run scoring double.

Meanwhile, Andrews was moving along on the pitching rubber and retired the first eight batters before allowing a walk in the top of the third inning and a bloop single in the top of the fourth.
