Sarah Angel scored three runs and drove one in despite going 1-for-3 with a double. Paige Painter pitched all five innings for Community, allowing an unearned run on two hits and three walks.
Curtis didn’t swing the bat for her first RBI in the first inning as Mark Twain walked in a run but then brought home three runners on a triple in a seven-run fourth inning that pushed the lead to 12-1.
The Lady Tigers walked in two more runners in the fifth inning before Glasgow picked up her second two-RBI triple for an 18-1 lead at the time.
Community (8-10) hosts Van-Far (4-9) on Thursday. To make up for the canceled Paris Tournament this past weekend, the Lady Trojans are scheduled to travel to Louisiana for a tournament on Saturday.
