She allowed only one base runner in that game, a wild-pitch strikeout put the lone runner on. She was later erased attempting to steal second. Vinson, a sophomore, struck out 11. PG got two runs in the first inning, one scoring on a wild pitch; the other on a single by Vinson. Final score was 10-0. In the fourth, PG erupted for seven runs, three coming on a home run by Taylor Worley and two more on Caitlen Manning's four-base blow. Manning also chased home the deciding run in the fifth, scoring Worley, who had singled. Manning also turned in a great defensive play in the fourth inning, diving to near third base to spear a shot that had base hit written on it, Kelley Skalsky made a diving catch in right field in he first inning. In the second game, Vinson fanned 13 in notching an 11-0. She allowed one hit batter to reach base; a walk took care of the other.
