SHARPSBURG-Monday night was the Kelley Lynch show as she retired all 21 batters she faced with strikeouts as the East Coweta Lady Indians defeated the Hampton Lady Hornets 6-0 in a non-region softball matchup.
The win improved the seasonal record to 9-0 and recorded their 45th in a row with a varsity game against Whitewater at home on Wednesday.
After a scoreless first inning, the Lady Indians gave Lynch the scoring margin she needed as they scored three times in the bottom of the second inning.
Kenadie Cooper reached on a leadoff single, stole second and scored on a single to right by Ansley Gunter.
Caison Byars reached on a walk and after a force play at third base, a wild pitch advanced her and courtesy runner Hanna Miller one base.
Both runners would come home as Ashleigh Griffin lined a single to right field and the lead was 3-0.
Meanwhile, Lynch was in complete control in her first start since a two-inning outing on August 17 against Northgate as she retired the first seven batters on strikeouts with six via the swinging route
After a pop to Madison Lecuona at third and a ground ball to Katie Taylor at second, Lynch retired 10 consecutive strikeouts with eight swinging.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Lady Indians added three more runs to give a bigger cushion.
Lilly Agan led off the frame with a double to left and advanced to third when a ground ball hit by Carmen Prior was mishandled at second base.
After Prior stole second, Lynch aided her own cause when lined a two run single to left field.
Courtesy runner Krys Odum advanced to second base on a ground ball to shortstop and came home when Gunter lined a shot over the left fielder's head for an RBI triple.
Gunter and Cooper each collected two hits in three at bats for
the win.
The 6-0 lead was more than enough for Lynch who recorded five strikeouts in the final two frames and was involved in the only non-strikeout as ball was hit back to her in the top of the seventh inning.
Of the 21 batters faced, Lynch recorded 11 first pitch strikes and had only two three-ball counts in tossing the gem.
NOTE:  The Junior Varsity will look to extend their unbeaten streak Tuesday with a game against McIntosh at 5:00.
