PEDRO — In a game of offense, the defense was the difference.

Rock Hill’s defense did not make an error as the Redwomen outscored the South Point Lady Pointers 8-6 Wednesday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

“(South Point) hit well, but they always do,” said Rock Hill coach Mary Harper. “But we did a good job in the field. We made the plays at the right time and we didn’t have any errors. And we started hitting.”

South Point took a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Ericka Leighty hit a home run to start the inning. Hannan Huron singled, Tausha Collins was hit by a pitch and Ashlee Kleinman had a two-run double.

Rock Hill came back to get five runs in the top of the third inning.

Nicole Stamper singled, moved up on a passed ball, and BreaAnna Depriest was safe on a fielder’s choice to put runners on the corners. Depriest stole second and Courtney Duncan had a two-run single. Cheslea Harper, DeAutremont and Megan Russell all singled in runs while Morgan Schug grounded out as a run scored.

The Lady Pointers tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Amy Lein was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on a double by Huron. Kleinman singled for a run, stole second and came home when Ashley Goodall doubled.

Rock Hill took the lead for good with three runs in the fifth.

DeAutremont walked and Russell, Morgan Damron and Schug all singled for two runs. An error scored the final run.

Collins hit a solo home run in the bottom of the inning for the Lady Pointers to complete the scoring.

Rock Hill (6-3, 4-1) hosts Coal Grove on Monday in a doubleheader.
