The

McIntosh Lady Chiefs opened their season last week at

home with two games, facing the East Coweta Lady Indians

and the Berkmar Lady Patriots.

The Chiefs

return four seniors to this year's squad, including

pitcher Brooke King, first baseman Abby King, shortstop

Brit Hardy and center fielder Candace Moore. Sophomore

catcher Megan Mulcahy also rejoins the team this year.

In their

first game, McIntosh hammered East Coweta 11-0. King

allowed only one hit, while striking out 12 batters

before the game was called in the fifth inning due to the

run rule. The Lady Chiefs had a great second inning.

Freshman Allison Zelinski drove in her first RBI for the

team. Hardy, Mulcahy and Brooke King each drove in two

runs in the win.

The next

evening brought the Berkmar Patriots to town. King again

took the mound and produced four strikeouts. McIntosh

struck early with Mulcahy driving home Candace Moore.

Freshman Renae Clark drove in two RBI, bringing both

Britte Hardy and Abby King across the plate. McIntosh did

not score again until the fifth inning when Mulcahy

slammed a double and then scored on a passed ball.

The Lady

Chiefs look forward to another great season of

competitive softball. They have returned much of their

power from last season and their new players are proving

themselves productive very early on in the season.
