Jade Stubblefield's RBI single in the top of the seventh broke a 2-2 tied and helped lift the Pitt-Johnstown softball team to a 4-2 victory in Saturday's PSAC-opener at Mansfield.
 
Joelle Snyder led off the Mansfield bottom of the first with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Cassidy Smith's ground out to give the Mounties a 1-0 lead.
 
The Mountain Cats tied it with a run in the third.  Carly Santillo walked and Hailee Markee entered the game as a pinch runner.  Markee moved to second on Sydney Flinn's sacrifice bunt, then to third on a passed ball, before scoring on a Mansfield throwing error.
 
Olivia Porter's RBI single in the Pitt-Johnstown fifth inning plated Flinn, who led off the inning with a walk, to put the Mountain Cats on top, 2-1.
 
Mansfield answered right to tie it in the bottom of the fifth when Leah McGovern came around to score on Lacy O'Donnell's double down the left field line.
 
However, the Mountain Cats regained the lead for good in the sixth. Morgan Cannin singled with one out and advanced to second when Porter reached on a fielder's choice.  Stubblefield followed with a run scoring base hit, that plated Cannin and moved Porter to third.  Porter then scored from third on a wild pitch to give Pitt-Johnstown a 4-2 advantage.
 
Kristen Coffay went out and pitched a scoreless seventh inning to close out the complete-game and even her record at 5-5.  Coffay surrendered just two runs on five hits, while striking out one and walking none.
 
Kristie Radvan had two hits, while Porter and Stubblefield each had a hit and drove in a run for the Mountain Cats.
 
Arianna Young suffered the loss in the circle for Mansfield and slipped to 3-3 after allowing four runs (1 earned) on seven hits in seven innings.
