PARIS, Texas — Pleasant Grove pushed across eight runs in the third inning and run-ruled Farmersville, 14-0, in a Class 4A area round softball playoff game at Paris Chisum High School's Lady Mustang Field on Friday.

"I am fired up that the girls came out with aggression and attacked early," Lady Hawks head coach Becca Collom said. "We showed up. They did a great job of adjusting in the at-bat and from one at-bat to the other. We did a better job on the bases and increased our production. Fr0m batters one through nine, we were attacking the balls. We had a lot of quality at-bats and saw a lot of pitches after two strikes. I am thrilled."

Lexie Snyder earned the win in the circle, threw a 3-hitter shutout, struck out five and walked one for Pleasant Grove, which earned a Class 4A area championship with the victory.
