Princeton 10, Smithfield-Selma 0

* PRINCETON -- Traci Bridgers came within one runner of recording a perfect game, and Princeton hammered county rival Smithfield-Selma, 10-0.

Bridgers logged 11 strikeouts inside the pitcher's circle and allowed one SSS runner to reach base on an error. The right-hander helped the Bulldogs even their record at 1-1 this season.

Megan Gerrell, Tori Paul and Katlyn Peedin cranked out two hits apiece for Princeton. Bridgers, Keely Myers, Savanna Massengill and Nicole Melvin each provided one hit in the mercy rule-shortened contest.

Princeton entertains Wilson Fike on Tuesday.
