MCC Softball Sweeps Past Coahoma
From School Reports
The Meridian Community College softball team finally had
an opportunity on Wednesday afternoon to return to the field after battling
weather issues as of late. The Lady Eagles took full advantage of a small
window of dry weather to travel to battle Coahoma Community College for another
pair of conference games.
The Lady Eagles cruised to a pair of impressive
conference wins over CCC by winning Game One 20-0 and easily securing the sweep
in Game Two by a final count of 22-1. MCC improved to 13-25 overall and 10-14
in conference play, while Coahoma dropped to 0-32 overall and 0-24 in league
play.
MCC will conclude the 2016 regular season with a four-game
home stand this weekend at Tommy McDonald Field against Northwest Mississippi
Community College and East Central Community College. MCC will take on
Northwest this Saturday in a doubleheader beginning at noon and will battle
ECCC on Sunday in a twin bill beginning at 2 p.m.
The Lady Eagles rolled in Game One behind 21 hits and a
great pitching performance to easily slip past Coahoma 20-0. MCC built a 9-0
lead after two innings of play and never looked back in securing the victory
over the Lady Tigers. Anna Lloyd led MCC at the plate in Game One with three
hits and four RBI's, while Mycahla Howard smashed a homer and collected three
RBI's. Former Clarkdale star Alex Riser finished the opening game with a pair
of doubles and three RBI's. Mia Johnson, Chelsea Robinson, Keelee Ladnier, and

tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings and collecting six strikeouts for the Lady
Eagles.
MCC finished off the sweep in Game Two over Coahoma by
winning in run-rule fashion by a final count of 22-1. MCC finished the second
game of the doubleheader with 15 total hits and the Lady Tigers only managed
two hits in the loss.
Brianna Duquette led the Lady Eagles with three hits and
five RBI's, while Keelee Ladnier knocked in four runs on three base hits.
Mycahla Howard added a pair of base hits and one RBI, while Anna Lloyd notched
