The SouthWest Edgecombe Lady Cougars stayed on the winning track Tuesday when they defeated the Greene Central Lady Rams 13-6 in Eastern Plains Conference action.
The Cougars improved to 13-7 overall and 7-2 in conference play.
Kelsey Page was the key for the Cougars offensively. She scored four times, while also collecting two hits. Taylor Webb contributed with three hits and drove in two runs, while Chelsea Owens collected two doubles and drove in the three runs. Dawson Gould had three hits with an RBI.
Kaylan Page continued to be effective on the mound for SouthWest. She threw six innings. She struck out four and walked two. Her sister Kelsey pitched in the fourth and fifth innings. She walked three and had a strike out.
SouthWest head coach Jeff Gould rotates his pitchers during the game. He lets Kalylan throw to their opponents the first time through the order, then he brings in Kelsey the second time around. Kaylan then comes back in the third time through the order to try and shut their opponents down.
Gould said he was impressed with the way his team came out and hit the ball.
The Cougars collected 13 hits in the game.
He was also glad to see the defense step up and play error free ball behind his pitchers.
SouthWest will be back in action Friday when they host the Beddingfield Lady Bruins at 4:30 p.m. The Bruins are undefeated in the conference while the Cougars are tied for second place with the Farmville Central Lady Jaguars.
