Who are these masked girls? Several East Coweta Lady Indians look on
during Saturday's Georgia Dugout Tournament games.

SHARPSBURG-The East Coweta Lady Indians had to work hard Saturday in order to increase their unbeaten streak to 37 as they competed in the Georgia Dugout Club Tournament's junior varsity event.
In game one, a single by Jenna Helmly led to the winning run in the bottom of the fifth inning as they came from behind to defeat the Northgate Lady Vikings 4-3 while Madison Duffle tossed a four-hitter as the Lady Indians defeated the Ola Lady Mustangs 2-0.

Shallyn Olszowy had the game-tying single
in the 4-3 win over Northgate.

Mallory Lumpkins led off with a double and with two outs, Ansley Teteak was hit by a pitch and Shallyn Olszowy followed with a single that scored Lumpkins.
Helmly came to the plate and on the first pitch she received from pitcher Jackie Burns lined a single that brought Teteak home with the winning run as time expired.
The Lady Vikings took the lead in the top of the first as Indians (4-0) as Kaylee Landreau single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Addie Mease before scoring when a single by Burns was misplayed in the outfield.
The Lady Indians got on the bosrd in the bottom of the third inning as Madison Duffle reached on a leadoff double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Lumpkins and scored on a dropped sacrifice fly hit by Karlie Guiterrez who came home when Teteak grounded out.
Northgate tied the game in the top of the fourth inning when Harmony Jackson reached on a walk and scored when a single by Makenna Cole was mishandled.
The Lady Vikings took the lead in the top of the fifth inning as Mease reached on a two out walk and scored on a double by Jena Sechrest.

Duffle led the way offensively for East Coweta with two doubles and a run scored Sechrest reached twice and scored a run for Northgate.
In the Ola game, EC took the lead in the bottom of the first inning as Duffle aided her own cause by reaching first on a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Lumpkins before scoring on a single by Guiterrez.
Ola miscues led to the second run as Guiterrez moved to second on a wild pitch and two errors allowed her to come home with the game's only other tally.
Meanwhile, Duffle gave the Lady Indians five solid innings in the circle allowing four hits while getting solid defense behind her.
Guiterrez, who has shown a knack for getting hit by a pitch and recording a hit in the same game, had each in the contest while Duffle walked twice while Olszowy, Maggie Stubbs and Teteak each had a hit.
The Lady Indians will play again on Wednesday the 26th when they travel to North Paulding for a doubleheader against the Wolfpack in a doubleheader.
