COAL GROVE — Lauren Meyer isn’t perfect, except once in a while when she’s batting.

Meyer went 4-for-4 to lead a 13-hit attack as the Coal Grove Lady Hornets beat the South Point Lady Pointers 5-2 in an Ohio Valley Conference game on Friday.

Besides her four hits and three RBI, Gracie Riley was 2-3 with a double and five RBI. Khylee Keaton went 2-3 and Lauren Crum 2-4.
