Maggie Brown was one of two Lady Trojans with two hits against the Tift County Blue Devils Friday, going 2-3 in Coffee’s 9-0 win to complete the season sweep of Tift. She also threw a six-inning complete game shutout, allowing just four hits while striking out five with no walks in the run-rule shortened contest.
Coffee scored in every inning except the second, finally ending the game in the bottom of the sixth with a three-spot. Jocelyn Fender, who also homered in the game, doubled, scoring Hannah Carlon and Ella Edge to walk it off via run rule.
Fender was 2-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI, and a run scored. Edge drove in two. Edge and Ava Grace Rowell scored twice. Rylee Spivey, Kia Wilson (2), Rowell, and Edge also stole bases against the Blue Devils.
