Ridge View girls conquer Hinton 6-3

The Ridge View softball team once again used the long ball in a Class 2A Region 1 Semi-final win on Friday night at Hinton. Two home runs in the fifth inning, a solo shot by Addison Schmidt and a two-run blast by Tatum Shepherd, helped propel the Raptors to a 6-3 victory over the Blackhawks. It was Hinton that struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the third inning. That score held up until the fifth inning, when Scmidt hit a round-tripper to tie the game at 1-1. Later in the inning, Shepherd hit one over the fence to give the Raptors a 3-1 lead.
