AID — The Symmes Valley Lady Vikings decided to quit work a little early on Monday.

The Lady Vikings got a run in the first inning when Jordie Ellison reached on an error, Lauren Wells put down a sacrifice bunt and Kylie Ellison had an RBI single.

The lead went to 4-0 in the third.

Wells walked with one out, Kylie Thompson doubled her home, Jocelyn Carpenter was hit by a pitch and Desiree Simpson doubled home both runners.

Lilly Schneider and Ellison singled and Wells clubbed a 3-run homer. Thompson was hit by a pitch, Simpson singled with 2 outs and Emma Ridenour doubled them home. Jenkins capped the rally with an RBI double.

Wells went the distance to get the win as she gave up only 3 hits, struck out 4 and walked 3. She also went 1-2 at the plate with the 3-run homer.

Simpson led a 10-hit attack as she went 3-3 with a double and 2 RBI. Ridenour was 2-3 with a double and 2 RBI, Thompson was 2-2 with a double and 2 RBI, Schneider was 1-2 and Jenkins and Ellison were 1-3.
