AVON PARK - Cassady Faircloth ripped a game-winning double - one of her five hits on the night - in the seventh inning on Tuesday as the South Florida Community College softball team managed a split with St. Petersburg College with a 7-6 victory over the Lady Titans at Panther Field.

St. Pete took the opener, 7-1.

The Panthers (4-6 in conference) were down 6-1 in the seventh before Megan Randolph knocked a two-run homer, Lara Helton smacked a two-run double and Faircloth finished off St. Pete with the walk-off hit.

Randolph was 2-for-2 with a homer and two RBI, Helton had two RBI and Faircloth was 3-for-4 with two runs, a walk, and a double in the second game.

"Kendrea Wellnitz pitched the second game into the fifth, and we went to Kristin Benton," said SFCC coach Carlos Falla. "She came in and shut them down the last inning."

The Panthers are back in action today, when they travel to Polk CC.
