Britt advanced to second on a passed ball and to third base on an error by the pitcher. Kinny then drove her in with a double to put Bowie up 9-5.
City View got two of the runs back in the fifth inning thanks to three fielding errors, a single, a double and a walk to cut the lead down to 9-7.
City View’s best chance to add more runs came in the sixth inning when it loaded the bases up with two outs after a single, a fielding error and a hit batter. On the first pitch, Kinney induced a groundout to first base to get out of the jam.
In the final inning, Kinney struck out two batters and fielded a groundball at her position for the final out.
