FULTON, MS – ICC completed its sweep of the Calhoun (AL) Community College Warhawks on Thursday in six innings with an 8-0 Game 2 victory.
ICC (4-2) took a 2-0 lead before hanging a four spot on the board in the third to take a commanding 6-0 lead through the first three innings of play.
Mamie Hollenhead (Mathiston) continued to swing a hot bat and drove in Taylor Blevins (Columbus) to give the Indians a 1-0 lead before Sheneria Tyes (Baldwyn) smashed a solo shot to go up 2-0 after two complete.
Blevins showcased her speed by stealing home to put ICC up 3-0 in the third. Hollenhead ripped her second double of the game to score Kaitlin Bradley (Columbus) before scoring on a passed ball. Bree Thompson (Water Valley) singled to score Addie Thompson (Hamilton) before the Warhawks could get out of the inning.
Alex Brown (Pontotoc) doubled to score Blevins and Katrina Wilson (Oxford) drew a bases loaded walk to invoke the eight-run mercy rule in the bottom of the sixth to complete the sweep of Calhoun with an 8-0 victory.
