SHARPSBURG-The East Coweta Lady Indians narrowly missed sweeping the Central Carrollton Lady Lions Monday for the second week in a junior varsity doubleheader.
In game one, Camryn Horton pitched a no-hit, 10 strikeout performance in a 9-0 victory for EC, while Central withstood a fifth inning rally to come away with an 8-6 win.   
The Lady Indians took their initial lead in the opener with one out in the bottom of the first inning as McKenna Holmes and Sophia Vaccariello reached base after being hit by a pitch. Consecutive walks to Hayden Chaffin and Addy Howell accounted for the game's first run.
Hallie Vance doubled in the bottom
of the second inning of game one
and scored a run.
The Lady Indians added to the lead with two outs in the bottom of the second inning as Hallie Vance doubled to left and scored after back to back singles by Keyleigh Gardner and Payton Wilson.
Holmes followed with a double to left field that allowed Gardner and Wilson to come home and give EC a 4-0 lead.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Lady Indians were able to put the game away as they scored five runs in the frame. 
Maddie Lindon started the inning by reaching first after being hit by a pitch and Vance followed by reaching on a walk.
With one out, Wilson lined a double to left allowing Lindon to score and Vance to advance to third before she would score on a single by Sophia Vaccariello.
Chaffin reached on a bases loaded walk that scored Wilson from third while an RBI single by Howell and a hit by pitch to Summer Wilson closed out the scoring.
Meanwhile, Horton continued to dominate the Lady Lions' batters in the top of the fifth inning as she recorded three of her 10 strikeouts in the frame.
Kylee Rozier opened the bottom of the
fifth inning in game two with a single and 
eventually scored a run.
 
The nightcap began with the Lady Lions scoring a run in the bottom of the first but the Lady Indians tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third inning as Sydney Stubbs scored on a bloop single by Vaccariello.
Vaccariello was 2-for-2 in the game and 3-for-4 iin the doubleheader with a pair of RBIs.
However, the Lady Lions regained the lead in the top of the fourth inning with three runs and took an 8-1 lead with four runs in the top of the fifth.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Kylee Rozier began the frame by
reaching on a single and Catherine Maxwell followed suit with a single as well.
Stubbs reached on a walk to load the bases for Payton Wilson who lined a ground ball off the Central second baseman to score Rozier.
Callie Flury lived up to her last name as she laced a bases clearing double to left field that cut the deficit to 8-6.
However, the rally was stopped as a pair of infield flies ended the contest.
The Lady Indians, now 15-1-1 will host the McIntosh Lady Chiefs on Wednesday prior to the Senior Night festivities.
