Community sent 11 hitters to the plate in the first inning and scored eight runs to defeat visiting Van Buren County 10-0 in District 9-A action Monday afternoon in near freezing conditions.

Karly Joslyn, Ashley Farris, Lisa Bailey and Amber Woods had consecutive hits in the first inning to stoke the rally while the Eaglettes walked four and committed two errors to prolong the rally.

The Viqueens struck for two more runs in the second inning on three walks and a two-run base hit by Bianca Maselter.

Maselter led the way offensively for the Purple and Gold with three hits in four appearances, driving in four runs and scoring twice from her leadoff position.

Community's Brittany Haynes threw a complete game, limiting the Lady Eagles to just three hits. Haynes walked three and struck out nine to pick up her fourth win of the season.

Community 14, Van Buren County 7: The Viqueens (5-11, 4-4 9-A) made a winner out of Amber Woods for the first time as she pitched her first complete game of the season.

Woods was not only strong on the bump but helped her own cause at the plate tremendously with two triples and three RBIs. She scored three runs in her best offensive performance of the season.

Farris, Bailey and CorrieAnn Hickerson all pitched in with big hits as well.

"We picked up two big district wins and that should be a big morale booster for the girls," Viqueen coach Libby Frost said. "We performed very well at the plate. Hitting is our strength, and we matched that on defense with just one error in two games.

"Amber pitched well in the second game in her first extended outing and that was a good break for Brittany (Haynes).

"I'm very proud of these young ladies for bouncing back to get back on the winning track after a couple of rough outings recently. They really pulled together today."

Community takes the short ride to Chapel Hill to take on Forrest on Wednesday at 6.
