Coach Eugene Singletary’s Bainbridge High School Lady Cats softball team improved their record to 12-7 with a 5-3, 12-3 doubleheader sweep over the Brooks County High School Lady Trojans on Monday, in Quitman, Ga.

The Lady Cats grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, in game one.

Second baseman Caitlin Cato was hit by a pitch with one out, and moved up to second when winning pitcher Brooke Bates was safe on an error.

A passed ball moved the runners up to second and third and they came home on an error and a fielder’s choice.

The Lady Cats added a run in the second and two more in the third. The second-inning run was scored by centerfielder Morgan Phillips, who reached on an error, moved up to second and third on an error and a wild pitch, and scored on a passed ball.

Bates, who singled, and catcher Lindsey Griner, who drew a walk, scored the Lady Cats’ two third- inning runs.

In game two, the Lady Cats put the game away with a seven-run fifth-inning rally.

The key blow in the inning was a two-run single by right fielder Brittany Moore, who went to second on a passed ball and came in on a single by shortstop Laura Griner.
