Tucson's Alyssa Carpio didn't pitch against Red Mountain when the teams locked up twice in the Lion Country Classic Invite back in February.

Carpio turned in a solid performance and the Badgers outhit, outpitched and out-defensed the host Mountain Lions in posting a 12-2 victory in the first round of the 6 state softball tournament.

Carpio gave up four hits  and walked four and her defense made every play but the one strikeout she registered in the third inning. Shortstop Melina Silvain was particularly impressive with five assists and turning a line out into a double play in fifth.

Tucson cranked out 10 hits, added five base runners via hit by pitch and Red Mountain committed four errors, most hastened by th Badgers' strong bunt game.

A five-run, fourth inning took the wind of Red Mountain, turning a 2-1 edge to 7-1. Tucson had five hits in the inning and five different players had  the RBI -- Iliana Mendoza, Carlie Scupio, Carpio, Analeisa Bejarano and Cerrina Barajas. Michelle Andersen had two of Red Mountan's four hits and an RBI.
