SHARPSBURG-The East Coweta Indians sent 16 batters to the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning and 10 scored in a 10-4 come-from-behind victory over the Newnan Cougars in a freshman baseball game played Wednesday night.
The victory improved the Indians’ record to 4-1 on the season with a game at home on Monday against the Northgate Vikings.
Trailing 4-0 and being held hitless through five innings, the Indians began to cut into the deficit as Michael Son walked, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on a double to center field by L. J. Estrada.
A single by Avery Brown and walks to John Monnin and Josh Sibley accounted for another run that cut the score to 4-2.
Jacob Medina tied the game at 4-4 when he lined a two-run single to left and singles by Connor McElroy and Jacob Rossi followed to give EC a 5-4 as Sibley scored.
A sacrifice fly by Cooper Ramey added another run and after Son reached on a walk, the hits kept coming as Andrew Arnold and Brown followed with RBI singles.
The final three runs of the frame came on a bases loaded walk to Monnin and a pair of wild pitches.
Son, who took over in the top of the third inning on the mound, surrendered a single in the top of the seventh but the Cougars were unable to recover as force play ended the contest.
Newnan scored all of their runs in the top of the first inning as Dunn doubled, Anderson walked while an error and and an RBI single by Scott scored the duo.
A groundout and a passed ball allowed the Cougars to take a 4-0 lead to the bottom of the first inning.
Rossi overcame the tough start to retire the final two batter and keep the deficit at 4-0.
However, Cash made it through the bottom of the first inning as Son was the only baserunner after being hit by a pitch.
The Indians had a chance to chip into the Cougars’ lead with two runners on base and one out, but Cash recovered as he induced a foul pop and a flyball to center field.
Rossi, who dominated Whitewater last week, had a solid second inning with only one one baserunner and retired the first two batters of the third inning before getting into trouble with a pair of walks.
Son came into the game and allowed a single that loaded the bases before recording a strikeout that ended the frame.
The next six Cougars went down in order but they would threaten to add to the lead with a pair of runners.
