EC defeats Northgate in five inning JV game

The East Coweta Lady Indians went on a scoring spree in the top of the second inning and came away with an 8-0 win over the Northgate Lady Vikings in a junior varsity game played Thursday afternoon.

After being retired in order in the top of the first, EC went to work as Olivia Cook led off with a walk and after Ansley Duffey hit a sacrifice bunt two more walks loaded the bases for Kaliyah Matthews.

Matthews was hit by a pitch that allowed Cook to score and a walk to Jaliyah Holmes scored Macie Wiggins from third to give the Lady Indians a 2-0- lead.

A single by Kenadie Cooper scored Ashleigh Griffin while Katie Taylor had a sacrifice fly RBI before Ansley Gunter had a two-run single that increased the lead to 6-0 and the scoring came to an end as Cook scored on a single by Duffey.

That appeared to be enough for Kylie Ferguson who retired the side in the bottom of the second inning and gave her teammates a chance to add to the lead.

The final run of the game for EC came in the top of the fourth inning came as Taylor led off with a walk, stole second and came home on a single by Cook.

After a tough fourth inning, Ferguson recovered in the bottom of the fifth to end the game under the mercy rule.
