After a week where the Lady Pirates dropped four games, three in the Glenwood tournament in Phenix City and one at home against Southern Academy, Pickens Academy has reeled off seven consecutive wins, starting with four wins in the Clarkdale tournament in Meridian, Miss. on Friday and Saturday, March 15th and 16th.
Pickens Academy, 10 Hancock, 0
Pickens Academy drubbed Hancock 10-0 behind a Shelby Lowe no-hitter after scoring six runs in the second inning, lead by walks from Britney Fitch and Lily Lowery, along with singles by Carleigh Cameron and Jessi Latham and a double by MacKenzie McCool. The Lady Pirates hit much better than they did in the Glenwood Tournament, tallying 12 hits in the game. McCool, Cameron, and Lowe each had multiple hits for PA, with McCool going a perfect 3-for-3 from the plate.
Pickens Academy, 2 Hatley, 0
With Lowe on the mound again, PA threw another shutout, defeating Hatley 2-0. The junior pitcher went seven innings, allowing zero runs and only one hit, while striking out 16. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning when Jessi Latham singled on a hard ground ball, scoring Wilkins for a 1-0 lead. The Lady Pirates added one more run for good measure in the bottom of the sixth when Lily Lowery singled to right field to score Latham for a 2-0 lead.
Latham led Pickens Academy with three hits in three at bats, while Lowery also had multiple hits for the Lady Pirates.
