The Lady Eagles started their week with a win on the road, defeating Rabun County 6-0.

Kaitlin Hill recorded the loss from the mound.

The Lady Eagles next headed to Augusta for the Coca Cola Classic Tournament over the weekend. East Jackson started with a 1-0 loss to Effingham County.

Hill recorded the win. Rainey said the middle of the lineup hit really well in that game, including Hill and catcher Brook Yarborough.

The Lady Eagles settled for a tie later that evening against Northside, Columbus. East Jackson had a 1-0 lead but Northside plated a run and the game was declared a tie when time ran out.

Haley Thompson pitched most of the game, with Hill coming in for the final inning.
