East Coweta scored five runs in the third inning helped by a 3-run home run from Kaliyah Matthews as it overwhelmed Campbell 12-1 on Tuesday. The Indians used a variety of players in the victory to move to 13-0 on the season.
“It was a region game and we felt it was a game we could play some different folks,” said head coach Franklin DeLoach after the game. “We basically played everybody and got some good reps from some different girls. Couple of different pitchers and catchers. We felt pretty comfortable throughout the game and we were able to let some girls show you what they can do.”
East Coweta, ranked No. 1 in the state in Class AAAAAAA and No. 1 in the nation according to MaxPreps, gained a 6-0 lead through the first two innings after allowing a single run on a miscommunication in the first inning. After that, it was all East Coweta.
Aniston Wright pitched the first three innings for the Indians and allowed the one run. She struck out four batters and gave up three hits.
“Wright did well,” DeLoach said. “It’s unfortunate that we gave up the run. We kind of dropped the ball, literally, and let a ball get by us on a miscommunication on a pitch call and that was able to advance a runner. They bunted the runner home to score the first run of the game.”
Jaliyah Holmes relieved Wright to pitch the final two innings. She finished the game with six strikeouts. East Coweta put on an offensive exhibition in the third inning which began with a single by Macie Wiggins. Lilly Agan doubled at the next at-bat to get on base. Campbell walked Eliza Kuhne and then Kylie Ferguson singled to put two runners on base before Matthews’ home run.
“It was one of those games where it wasn’t overly exciting,” DeLoach said. “It was a region game. You have to do them. But, it was a productive day for us at the park.”
