In the finale against Central Gwinnett, the Eagles were again held scoreless until the 6th inning when a triple from Kellie, a key walk and fielder’s choice got us on the board. Additional hits in the 7th from Catherine Palmer and Lindsay padded the lead. A 4-0 victory over the Lady Knights gave the Eagles the gold championship.

In 14 innings in the first two games on Saturday, Erin Collins gave up only 1 run on 3 hits with 10 strikeouts. Kimberly Mason’s shutout in the final game was impressive, as she allowed 3 hits, striking out 10 over 7 innings, to go along with her shutout in pool play the night before.

The 9th grade Eagles routed Parkview 11 - 2 in their opening game. The game was delayed
by rain but that didn't dampen the girls desire to win. Sliding through the mud and hustling
helped the Eagles to victory.
