 DOUGLASVILLE-Kenadie Cooper was 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and Kylie Ferguson allowed three hits and recorded five strikeouts Monday as the East Coweta Lady Indians defeated the Alexander Lady Cougars 5-0 in a junior varsity contest.

The Lady Indians scored early in the game as Cooper singled to start the game, stole second and moved to third on a passed ball before scoring when Olivia Cook grounded out to third.

In the top of the second, EC added to the lead as Madison Lecuona reached on a one out double and was able to score on a single to right by Ashleigh Campbell.

Meanwhile, Ferguson was carving through the Alexander order as she faced two over the minimum through the first four innings of play.

The Lady Indians added to the lead in the top of the fifth inning as Cooper reached on an infield single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Katie Taylor before coming home on a two out single by Ansley Duffey.

In the top of the sixth inning, the Lady Indians recorded their final tallies of the game after two outs as Campbell reached on an infield error and Jaliyah Holmes reached on a mishandled third strike.

Ferguson aided her own cause with a single that scored Campbell with Holmes advancing to third on the play before coming home on a wild pitch.

The margin was enough for Ferguson as she allowed a two out single before ending the game on a fielder’s choice.
