Everybody hit, almost everybody scored, and the Porters Chapel Lady Eagles won big Tuesday against Trinity.
All nine PCA starters had at least one hit, eight players scored a run, and the Lady Eagles scored seven runs in the bottom of the first inning to cruise to a 10-0 victory.
Leadoff hitter Anna Beth Miller led the way by going 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs and a run scored. Raylee Barwick was 3-for-3 with a triple, RBI and a run scored, while Shelby Barwick, Cameron Yocum, Sabrina Embry and Kaylee Hinson had two hits apiece.
Shelby Barwick ended the game by the mercy rule with a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Raylee Barwick had an RBI triple and Mallarie Ashley an RBI double in the first inning, when PCA (12-5-1, 4-1 District 5-A) batted around.
Hannah Embry pitched a complete-game shutout. She didn’t walk a batter, only gave up two hits and struck out five.
Warren Central 18, Franklin County 4
Anaiyah Fultz went 4-for-4 with a triple, double and two RBIs, Megan Stewart was 3-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and three runs scored, and Warren Central routed Franklin County Tuesday night, 18-4.
