bench with a run scoring double

The guarantee about Senior Night is seniors will play at some point and that was the case Wednesday night as the East Coweta Indians blitzed the Campbell Spartans 15-0 in a three inning Region 2-AAAAAAA game.
The win improves the Indians overall record to 22-4 and 11-1 in the region with a key battle with the Westlake Lions at home on Friday in which a win will clinch at least a tie for first place.
Cody Rodgers, one of the 14 seniors honored by the Indians, started on the mound and breezed through the top of the first inning with two strikeouts and a groundout.
In the bottom of the frame, Devonte Brown was hit by a pitch for the second straight night and waltzed into third as Emilio Morales reached on a bunt single.
The duo pulled off a double steal with Brown coming home with the first run of the night and Morales taking second before stealing third and coming home on a throwing error by the catcher.
Ryan Dyal, the only non-senior in the lineup, reached on a walk and a stolen base before coming home on a triple by Ethan Darrow.
A wild pitch allowed Darrow to come home with the fourth and final run of the inning.
Rodgers breezed through the second inning with a pair of strikeouts and was involved with the final out as he picked off a ground ball and raced to first ahead of the Campbell batter.
The bottom of the second inning allowed EC to blow the game open as they scored six times to take a 10-0 lead.
Rodgers had his only blip of the night in the top of the third inning by surrendering the only Spartan hit of the game but he retired the next three batters on strikes to give him seven for the game.
In the bottom of the third, the bench was emptied as four pinch-hitters (all senior pitchers) were used to end the game.
Gick and Bruce led off the frame with walks and for the third time in 2017, pitcher Mason Frady came to the plate and responded by lining a double to left field that score Gick.
Bruce moved to third on the play and scored on a wild pitch and after one out, Brandon Frost single with Frady coming home and the lead was 13-0.
Pitchers Avery Reynolds and Calvin Boyd followed with singles to bring home a run and the game ended when Cameron Jackson singled to right field.
