The Whitewater Lady Wildcats softball team picked up two region wins

last week to push their region record over .500.

On Wednesday, Whitewater outlasted Villa Rica, winning 3-2 in the bottom

of the seventh inning. Meg Holman reached the bases on an error and Tess

Echols drove her in. On Thursday, the Lady Wildcats exploded, beating

Creekside 17-0.

In addition to Echols and Holman, who have batting averages of .378

and .302 respectively, Whitewater is also being led offensively by Lauren

Moyer who has a.467 batting average. The team is also getting strong

pitching performances from Danielle Dickson and Jill Keller.

"We are playing great softball at the moment," said Coach

Stacey Smith, who is seeing her team handle good region competition.

Whitewater is scheduled to take on Alexander and Haralson County this

week.
