On the heels of Mt. Tabor’s 17-4 and 14-1 losses to East Forsyth and Glenn, Davie’s softball team added to the Spartans’ misery with an 18-2 belting on April 15 in Winston-Salem.
The War Eagles scored 10 second-inning runs and cruised to the 40th consecutive win in the series. Their 16-hit attack was paced by Raegan Davis (2 for 2), Addie Brown (2-3), Peyton Presnell (2-3), Brenna Altiers (2-3, three RBIs) and Delaney Parsons (2-3, three RBIs).
Davie played error-free defense behind pitchers Raelyn Lankford and R. Davis. The Spartans fell to 4-9.
West 14, Davie 3
Davie’s next game, though, was not fun as red-hot West Forsyth dealt the hosts a drubbing on April 18.
The War Eagles went ahead 2-1 in the second inning, but the lead was brief in a woeful night that saw West put up crooked numbers in the third, fourth, fifth and seventh.
Davie, led by Autumn McEwen’s two hits in three at-bats, was outhit 13-7. It got one hit from Jadyn Davis (1-3, double, walk), Carleigh Croom (1-3), Lankford (1-3, two RBIs), Landry Parsons (1-3) and D. Parsons (1-2).
Davie committed four errors, its pitchers handed out six walks and the Titans (20-1) registered their 12th win by double figures. It was the second nightmarish outing against West, which won the first meeting 12-2.
With one week remaining in the regular season, Davie (12-6) is fourth in the CPC standings. West is 13-0, Reagan 10-3, East Forsyth 8-4 and Davie 7-4.
