Wachacha, Davis key Lady Devils past SM
Shalana Wachacha was four of five with a home run and six RBI's, and Sarah Davis hit two homers in addition to being the winning pitcher Monday in a 16-6 non-conference softball victory over Smoky Mountain at Webster.
"That just wasn't a very good effort on our part," said Coach Mark Taylor, who watched his team fall to 2-5. "Swain hit the ball as well as any team we've faced."
The Lady Devils scored in the first on Wachacha's RBI single.
The Lady Mustangs tied it in the bottom of the frame as Bonnie Claxton singled and later scored on Brandi Farmer's infield out.
Singles by Ameka Buchanan and Ashley Coggins helped SM take a 3-1 edge in the second.
The Lady Devils took the lead for good at 4-3 with three runs in the third. Kristy Woods and Wachacha both singled in the inning.
Davis' first homer made it 6-3 in the fifth.
Wachacha's homer was the big blow in a five-run sixth as the margin reached 11-3.
After Kayla Duvall singled to start the SM fifth, Krista Edwards and Ameka Buchanan drove in runs with a double and triple, respectively. Ale Ensley's infield out plated another run making it 11-6.
The Lady Devils put the game away with five runs in the seventh capped by Davis' second homer.
Woods finished with three hits for Swain.
Buchanan led the Lady Mustangs by going two of three.
In the JV game at Bryson City, Swain won 12-2 dropping the Lady Mustangs to 3-4 on the year.
