St. Aloysius’ softball team went 2-for-2 against its old coach.

Ruthie Britton doubled and drove in two runs, and Kyleigh Cooper had seven strikeouts in a complete game as the Lady Flashes beat Adams County Christian School 4-3 on Monday.

St. Al (15-5, 4-2 MAIS District 4-5A) swept the season series from ACCS (9-11, 0-5), which is led by former Lady Flashes coach Savannah Buck.

The Lady Flashes also won their fifth game in a row, but had to work a bit for it.

Maddy McSherry hit an RBI triple in the third inning to bring in the game’s first run. Britton drove in another with a groundout in the sixth, and Kennadi Blassingame scored on a wild pitch.

Britton’s RBI double in the top of the seventh made it 4-0, and the insurance run proved to be valuable. ACCS got four straight two-out hits in the bottom of the seventh, including RBI doubles by Sophia Carter and Emma Massey, and an RBI triple by Jayda Myles, to cut it to 4-3.

Cooper finally buckled down and got Alyssa Aucoin to fly out to center field to end the game.

Monday’s game was the first of back-to-back district games for St. Al. It will play at Copiah Academy on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
