SCOOBA — The Co-Lin Lady Wolves completed a 4-0 season sweep over North Division-leading East Mississippi Community College. Co-Lin won the opener 10-0 in five innings and mounted a comeback to take the nightcap 6-3.

“These were two good road wins against a very good offensive team,” said Co-Lin coach Allen Kent. “They’ve scored a good many runs this year and will compete for the North Division title.

“We’re giving our girls a much-needed couple of days off after playing the entire spring break,” said Kent. “We played very solid defensively. Porter and Moak made some really good plays out there today.”

The Lady Wolves 17-9-1 resume South Division play Tuesday at Hinds.

In the 4th, Josie Porter singled and Hux reached on an error. Romero and Kayla Craft both hit into a fielder’s choice. With 2 out, Davis, Shelby Mitchell and Cliburn each delivered RBI singles, extending the lead to 10-0.

Romero’s 4 RBI directed the hitting attack, while Cliburn and Moak’s 2 singles helped the cause.

“All 10 of our runs were scored with two outs,” said Coach Kent. “We finally got some clutch hitting. Hopefully we can carry that over into division play. “Brooke did a really good job of staying ahead in the count. We played very good defense behind her.”
