The Escambia County High School Lady Devils broke out to a 13-0 lead after one inning Friday, on the way to a 16-1 victory over visiting Hillcrest-Evergreen.

The win improved ECHS’s record to 2-4-1 for the season. The Lady Devils lost to Jackson 11-1 on Thursday, but earned an 18-5 win at Monroe County on Monday, March 2.

“The team did great against Monroe County and Hillcrest,” ECHS coach Stephanie Adams said. “Our offense was not up to par against Jackson. We couldn’t produce good base hits like we needed to, and we made a few defensive errors.

“The offense and defense came together against Hillcrest. They kept their heads in the game the whole time, and didn’t make the same mistakes they did in the previous game (against Jackson).”

The Lady Devils will travel to play J.U. Blacksher on Thursday, and then return home to play W.S. Neal at 4 p.m. Friday.

The members of the ECHS varsity team are Kaylee Cox, Taylor Hill, Heather Davis, Alexis Crenshaw, Ciera Stots, Jessica Sanspree, Victoria Tucker, Hannah Martin, Valencia Nickson, Ychelle Walker, Sha’Diamond Harris, Justice Poole and Scoteria Riley.
