LAUREL HILL — The Carver Middle School softball team finished off an 11-1 regular season with a sweep of East Hoke on Monday.

The Lady Eagles went 7-0 to clinch the Eastern Division championship, and will play at Anson on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the Southeastern Middle School Conference title game. Carver's only loss on the year came at Anson by a score of 6-2.

"We made a bunch of errors in the last inning and it cost us the game," said Carver head coach Scottie Jacobs. "We're in familiar territory; Carver has won four of the last six championships.

"We're looking forward to going to Anson on Wednesday and winning another one."

Carver beat East Hoke 15-0 in three innings in Monday's first game. Bailey Jacobs threw a no-hitter in the shortened game, and eight of her nine outs were recorded on strikeouts.

Jacobs was also the team's leading hitter, going 3-for-3 with a double and three runs scored. Abby Bray was 1-for-3 with an inside-the-park homer and three runs scored, and Katelyn Hunt was 1-for-2 and also scored three times, a feat Carver's Nos. 2-4 hitters all accomplished.

Libby Ingram and Destiny Morrison were both 2-for-3, and Nicole Williams went 1-for-2 with a double. Sarah Campbell was 1-for-3 with an inside-the-park home run, and Tuesday McLaurin went 1-for-2.

Carver scored five runs in each of its three at-bats during the rout.

Game 2 resulted in a 13-0 win for the Eagles. Jacobs pitched again, and struck out nine in the win.

Four Carver players circled the bases on inside-the-park home runs. Morrison, Ingram and Hunt all had three hits, and all three had inside-the-park homers as one of those hits. Jacobs was 1-for-3 with an inside-the-park job.

Bray, Jonissa Monley and Grace McCormick had two hits apiece, and Hannah Bray was 1-for-2 with a double.

Carver plays at Anson for the conference championship on Wednesday at 4.
