 In a battle of first and second place teams in the WRC, Riverton Parke beat Rockville 3-0 to maintain sole possession of first place.

 

The Lady Panthers jumped on Rockville starter Lindsey Greene for two runs in the first inning.

 

Haley Chambers led off with a single and Mikayla Grindle slapped a single to center. Ashley Kinne laid down a sacrifice bunt and everyone was safe on a fielders choice. Megan Vincent drove in Chambers with a sac fly and Whitney Mathas laid down a bunt that drove in pinch runner Cassie Griffin.

 

Chambers struck out the side in the first and did not allow a hit until Ashley Gordon's single in the 5th. Gordon would single in the 7th for both of the Rox hits in the game.

 

RP would add another run in the 5th as Sheldan Falls bunted and reached on an error. She stole second and third to get into scoring position. Kinne then ripped a single to center to drive her in.

 

Chambers picked her sixth win of the season and struck out 15 batters.
