Ringo's two-bagger drove in two runs.

Tiffany Farmer, Burris, Ward and Baize all scored.

"I was very pleased with our effort on offense," said Linton-Stockton coach Jill Flater. "If you look down our line-up from 1-9, everybody contributed, whether it was with a hit, sacrifice bunt, stolen base or fielder's choice. We had three sacrifice bunts. We had girls get on tonight and we moved them around.

"We only had five hits, but I was very pleased with the job we did at the plate."

Carpenter fanned six and did not issue a walk. She raised her record to 13-9.

Linton-Stockton's JV team improved to 12-3 with a 3-1 victory. Megan Barnes was the winning pitcher.
