The Enterprise High School Lady Wildcats improved to 2-0 with a 1-0 win against Charles Henderson Thursday.

“This was a big win for us,” said EHS coach Ben Thompson. “It’s important to start the season off this way, and winning close games against quality opponents is a good sign.”

Junior Kaitlin Strickland notched her second win; Strickland pitched 4 innings, allowed 1 hit and struck out 5.

Brittany Perry earned her first save after pitching 3 innings, allowing 3 hits and striking out 4.

Senior January Page was 1-for-3 at the plate; Page stole 3 bases and scored a run.

“She led off the first inning with a bunt, then stole second, third and home for the game’s only run,” Thompson noted.

Ashley Simon went 1-for-3 and swiped 2 bases for the Wildcats.
