Lady Wildcats keep streak alive, sweep Northwest

POPLARVILLE, Miss.— The Pearl River Lady Wildcats saw a little bit of everything Saturday as they swept Northwest at Lady Wildcat Stadium. After run ruling the Rangers 8-0 in Game 1, the Lady Wildcats had to match the visitors swing for swing in the 12-9 victory. The double-dip extended PRCC's winning streak to seven straight.

"The first game we really settled in and hit the ball well and pitched pretty well which is huge," PRCC coach Leigh White said. "I thought they pitched us a little bit better in the second game but we adjusted.

The big difference was we scored in just about every inning and we overcame adversity after Northwest took the lead."

Game 1: PRCC 8, NWCC 0 (5 inn.)

The Lady Wildcats (21-17 overall, 11-11 MACJC) struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Hannah Rasberry (Lucedale; George County) scored on a passed ball to give PRCC a 1-0 lead.

In the second, Brooke Fagan (Kiln; Hancock) hit an RBI single to score Neely McLeod (Lucedale; George County) and give the Lady Wildcats a 2-0 lead.
