Box Score Freshman right-hander Mia Smith fanned a career-high 12 hitters and limited Mercy (NY) to just one run to lead the Pitt-Johnstown softball team to a 2-1 victory, Thursday afternoon in Clermont, Fla.  The Mountain Cats are now 2-3.
 
Pitt-Johnstown opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the third when Emilia Santiago singled and came around to score on a Laura Fox double. 
 
In the fifth, Tori Radvan reached on an error and moved to second on Shaylin Hagerman's sacrifice bunt, before a Mercy throwing error allowed Radvan to score to give the Mountain Cats a 2-0 lead.
 
It remained that way until the top of the sixth.  Mercy got a base hit to lead off the inning, then cut the deficit to one following a Pitt-Johnstown throwing error.  However, Smith struck out the next three hitters, then struck out the side in the seventh to preserve the victory on close out the complete-game.
 
Smith tossed all seven innings and held Mercy to just one run on a pair of hits.  She also struck out 12 and walked one.
 
Fox went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI, and Kayla Miehl also doubled for Pitt-Johnstown.  Maddie Flowers, Radvan, and Santiago also had hits.
