SHARPSBURG-Katie Taylor did her best Forrest Gump imitation with an inside-the-park home run Wednesday evening while Kylie Ferguson allowed three hits as the East Coweta Lady Indians defeated the Whitewater Lady Wildcats 3-1 in junior varsity play.
The win improved the overall mark at 10-0 and extended the unbeaten streak to 26 games as they prepare to face the Newnan Lady Cougars on the road Thursday.
Whitewater took a 1-0 lead with one out in the bottom of the first inning as Jillian Williams singled, stole second  and advanced to third on a single by starting pitcher Mikayala Coffield before scoring when Raniya Cannady grounded out.
After being denied a chance to tie the game in the second, EC was able to accomplish the feat in the third as Taylor drilled a shot to the left field fence and raced around the bases for her home run that tied the game at 1-1.
Without stop signs in the stands, Taylor managed to avoid running through the backstop as she touched home plate.
The Lady Indians took the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning as Bailee Echols came of the bench and drilled to right center field for a triple and came home when Eliza Kuhne grounded out to third base.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Lady Indians scored an insurance run as Jaliyah Holmes was hit by a pitch after the first out of the frame.
Holmes, who had two hits in the game, stole second and advanced to third after a groundout before coming home on a single by Macie Wiggins.
Meanwhile, Ferguson was in control on the pitching rubber allowing only three baserunners after the first inning as she recorded five strikeouts while not walking a batter.
