CLEARWATER, Fla. − The Flagler Saints ended the Eckerd Tritons Spring Invitational by splitting two game and finish the three-tournament with a 5-1 record.

Flagler leaves with an 8-4 overall record.

Shannon Miles went 3-for-5 with a grand slam in the first inning and finished with five runs batted in. Karri Brisbee and Melissa Chastang each singled twice for the Argonauts.

Brittney Hatem (Hialeah, Fla./Wallace CC-Dothan) hit a solo home run in the fourth inning for Flagler's lone tally. Brittany Simmons (Ocala, Fla./Chattanooga State Tech) singled twice.

Kelly Riddick (Hampton, Fla./Central Florida CC) (5-2) pitched three-plus innings and surrendered eight hits and five earned runs. Kristen Chapman (Jacksonville, Fla./Sandalwood HS) finished the game and scattered three hits and gave up an unearned run.
