SHARPSBURG-For the second straight junior varsity start, Camryn Horton held a team hitless as the East Coweta Lady Indians defeated the McIntosh Lady Chiefs 6-1 Wednesday night.
The Senior Night win improved the Lady Indians' record to 16-1-1 on the season.
The Lady Indians gave Horton a lead in the bottom of the first inning as Payton Wilson reached on an infield error and stole two bases before coming home on a wild pitch.
McKenna Holmes followed by reaching base on a dropped third strike and she also was eventually to score on a wild pitch.

The Lady Chiefs averted a shutout in the top of the second inning when they scored their lone run as they were unable to get to Horton who tossed a no-hitter Monday against Central Carrollton.

The Lady Indians were held scoreless in the second and third innings but were able to extend the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning with four runs.

Callie Flury led off frame by reaching on a walk with Hailee Vance following suit with one out in the frame.

Wild pitches moved both into scoring position before the duo came home on a double to left field by Izzy Kelleher.

Sydney Stubbs reached on an infield error that allowed Kelleher to advance to third before coming home on a sacrifice fly by Wilson.

Stubbs would come with the final run of the game on a single to left field by Sophia Vaccariello.

Meanwhile, Horton was almost as solid as her last start as she retired nine of 10 batters in the final three frames after McIntosh scored their run in the second.

Next for the Lady Indians is a trip to Douglasville to face the Alexander Lady Cougars.
