The Conway Christian Lady Eagles fell short at Magnet Cove, the 2A 5-North district champs, 18-0, Monday.

The Lady Eagles dropped to 1-3 in conference play after the game was called in the third inning for the sportsmanship rule.

“"Magnet Cove has really good pitching and catching, and that really makes all the difference,"” Conway Christian coach Jeremy Carson said.

Although the Lady Eagles were able to connect with the ball, Magnet Cove was able to catch it and get the players out.

“"We really faced the best catcher in the district," Carson said. "She was able to keep an eye on the players that were on base and tag them out while the girls tried to steal. Good pitching and catching really make all the difference."”

The Lady Eagles play again Thursday at England to make up the cancelled game from last Friday.
