The Eufaula Lady Ironheads (9-4-1) cruised to a 12-2 win over Quinton on Friday. Quinton started fast and put two runs on the Lady Ironheads in the first inning. But Eufaula answered the call with a six run inning in the second inning. Senior Allie Anderson, who smashed a pitch for a home run that drove in three, led the scoring.
Eufaula extended their lead in the third when Makayla Harjo singled and a single by Emma Lovett, and a line out by Anderson. The scoring continued for the Lady Ironheads as they added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning on five hits. Kate Pippenger hit a solo homerun to center field, and Rayleigh Peterson singled, scoring a run.
“We have to continue to play up to our capabilities. I thought we did a good job of limiting errors and we did an outstanding job hitting the ball today. There are still a lot of ball games left to play and we need to continue to compete at a high level,” Eufaula head coach Ryan Green said.
