SHARPSBURG-Stormy weathers has plagued the East Coweta softball program this season forcing cancellations throughout the schedules.

Thursday night, stormy weather came in the form of Madisyn Weathers as she reached three runs and had five RBIs to lead the Lady Indians junior varsity squad to a 15-0 win over the Newnan Lady Cougars and extended the unbeaten streak to 48 games.
East Coweta defeated Troup 14-4 on Wednesday to help extend the streak.

The Lady Indians took the lead early as Madison Duffel led off the bottom of the first inning with a walk and a stolen base before scoring on a single by Mallory Lumpkins.

Karlie Guiterrez followed with a single and Weathers drilled a double that scored Lumpkins and courtesy runner Elizabeth Austin before scoring on a groundout by Jenna Helmly.

In the bottom of the second inning, the Lady Indians batted around as 14 batters went to the plate and eight scored.

For the second time in a week, Rylee
Gordy tossed a complete game for the
Lady Indians.

With one out, Maggie Stubbs singled and stole second before reaching third on a wild pitch while Duffel walked and stole second before Lumpkins was hit by a pitch and Guiterrez doubled to score Stubbs and Duffel.

Weathers hit a flyball to left field which allowed Lumpkins and Austin to score and came home on another Newnan error.

A two run single by Shallyn Olszowy allowed Weathers and Helmly to score aand after Ansley Teteak singled, Stubbs had an RBI single and Duffel had an RBI on a fielder's choice.

Benefiting from the 12-0 cushion was Rylee Gordy who sailed through the Newnan lineup allowing only a third inning single to Addison Smith while walking one batter, hitting another and recording five strikeouts.

Through no fault of her, Gordy would only pitch three innings as the Lady Indians won on the mercy rule in the bottom of the third inning.

Guiterrez doubled and Weathers followed by drilling a 1-0 offering over the fence for a two run home run and with one out Olszowy reached on an infield error then scored the final run on a single by Teteak.

Guiterrez had two hits as did Teteak and Stubbs in the contest.

The Lady Indians will look to extend the streak Monday at home against a Northgate squad they have defeated twice in close contests.
