See WIN on 2 A bottom of the fifth run proved to be the game stopper in Thursday's 11-1, 10 -run rule win over the visiting Princeton Community School Lady Tigers. The Tigers managed one run in the second and then threat- ened in the fifth, but were con- tained by the defense and a strikeout by Brynn Hillyard. They then witnessed Kenzie Powell score the game-ending run when Hannah Carnahan hit a grounder into center for her third hit and fourth RBI of the contest. Hillyard pitched a four-hitter, allowing one earned run, while walking two. Hillyard was three up and three down for the Tigers in the first, but her counterpart stepped down after a 10 -run opening inning barrage. Thirteen batters were faced in that first inning and 10 crossed the plate before the Lady Tiger defense managed a third out. The Lady Chargers played er- ror-free ball on the defensive end and notched 15 hits, with 10 RBIs resulting in 11 runs for the game.
