Anna Claire Fitzgerald homered  and Bailey Adams recorded four hits to lead the Cedar Creek Lady Cougars to a 15-4 win over Castor Tuesday night.

Fitzgerald and Adams both drove in three runs apiece while combining to score seven more as the Lady Cougars recorded 15 hits in the five-inning affair.

Creek (3-5) plated crooked numbers in every inning at the plate, scoring two in the first, seven in the second and three each in the third and fourth.

Adams (4-4, 3 runs, 3 RBI), Fitzgerald (3-4, 4 runs, 3 RBI), Ava Lantrip (3-3, 3 runs, RBI), Mallory Smith (1-3, 2 runs), Ainsley DeMent (1-3, run, 2 RBI), Presley Wall (1-1), Olivia Salter (1-2, run, RBI), and Olivia Underwood (1-4, 2 RBI) all contributed offensively.

Smith picked up the win in the circle, allowing just one unearned run on one hits and three walks in 3.0 innings in the circle. Fitzgerald worked the final 2.0 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts.

Cedar Creek will host Oak Grove Thursday at 5 p.m.
