CANYON – Haley Freyman's dominating complete game and Alyssa Ringhausen's pinch-hit walk-off sacrifice fly lifted Tarleton Softball to the semifinals of the Lone Star Conference tournament with a 2-1 win over Texas A&M-Commerce.
 
The TexAnns (30-19), ranked No. 3 in the tournament, are playing in their 14^th LSC tournament, the most in conference history. Tarleton will take on No. 2 Texas Woman's later today at 4 p.m.
 
The opening-round game of the LSC Tournament had major implications for the South Central Regional tournament with the TexAnns ranked No. 8 in the region and A&M-Commerce ranked No. 9.
 
Wood, a First Team All-LSC selection, led off the second inning and on the third pitch of the at-bat launched a solo home run to left to give the TexAnns a 1-0 lead.
 
Freyman tossed her 13^th complete game of the season while surrendering only six hits and striking out three to record her 20^th win of the season.
 
Freyman had some defensive help in the second inning when she got Commerce's Aundria Zunigia-Romero to ground into a double play and end the scoring threat.
 
Commerce had yet to score going into the seventh inning, but Zunigia-Romero hit a leadoff home run off Freyman to tie the score at one.
 
Shelby Hedrick pinch-hit for the injured Delaney Wayland to lead off the seventh and worked a walk. Taylor Fitzgerald ran for Hedrick and advanced to third after Lauren Powers' sacrifice bunt was errantly thrown into right field.
 
A&M-Commerce intentionally walked Melody Mayse to load the bases for Ringhausen who lined a 1-0 pitch to center field that scored Fitzgerald on the sacrifice fly and the winning run.
 
Katelyn Conlee and Mikayla Stogsdill each had a single for the TexAnn offense.
