SHARPSBURG-In her career at East Cowets, catcher Karlie Guiterrez either has hit the ball or has been hit by the yellow sphere and Friday was no different.
Guiterrez was hit by a pitch and hit a two run home run as the Lady Indians defeated the Whitewater Lady Wildcats 8-0 in the Georgia Dugout Club junior varsity tournament.
The victory which took five innings, extended the Lady Indians unbeaten string to 35 games.
After winning pitcher Maggie Stubbs retired the sidee in order in the top of the first inning, her teammates scored three times to give her a lead that she never surrendered.
With one out, Mallory Lumpkins singled and reached third on a throwing error while in this at bat Guiterrez was hit by a pitch on an 0-2 count.
Lumpkins was 2-for-2 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stellar catch.
