Lady Trojans knock off #1 W.Johnston

look familiar???

The Lady Trojans avenge an early season loss with the 5-2 GNRC win at W.Johnston. Amanda Beach singles to lead off the 4th and Cecily Parrott and Ashley Carroll have RBI singles and the Trojans lead 2-0 after 4 innings. Beach drives in Mary Scott Powell in the fifth to make it 3-0. The Wildcats scratch a run in the sixth off winning pitcher Christie Wright (11-3) but the Lady Trojans answer with Beach RBI double scoring Barbour. In the hustle move of the game, Beach scores from second on Wright's fly out to the warning track in deep center to push Garner's lead to 5-1. W.Johnston plates a run in the bottom of the 7th on a walk and a double but Beach diving stop of a grounder and flip to first ends the game and deadlocks the GNRC regular season race at 11-1 each with two games to go.

The Lady Trojans (14-4) play their Senior Day game vs SSS tomorrow following the JV game, approximately 5PM where they will honor the Senior Class of 2008 for their service to GMHS:
