The Goshen Eagles used a fierce offensive attack in Monday night’s 12-2 win over Kinston in six innings of play to kick off the 2016 season.

“I was really pleased with them,” said Eagles head coach Amy Warrick. “I thought we hit the ball pretty well. I was pleased, I thought it went really well especially with the way they hit.”

The Eagles received a great pitching performance from starter Sydni Garrett. The freshman pitched all five innings allowing two runs on just three hits and striking out five batters.

“She did a really good job,” Warrick said. “She is just a ninth grader and I thought she did a really good job for her first varsity experience. I was proud of what she did.”

Offensively, the Eagles were led by Hannah Calhoun who finished the game 2-4 but reached base a total of three times. The freshman accounted for four of the Eagles’ runs by scoring three runs and driving in another. Senior Casey Allen also had a productive night, finishing 2-4 with two runs and three RBIs. Junior Katlyn Gamble reached base all four times she came to home plate. With the win the Eagles improve their record on the year to 1-0. They will be in action again on Monday afternoon when they host Brantley at 4 p.m.
