ARGYLE - The Orioles got solid pitching from Kelsey Bartels on their way to an 8-0 win over Black Hawk Monday.

The Orioles had four errors, but made up for it by balancing out its scoring attack. Argyle scored two runs in the second, one in the fourth, two in the fifth and three in the sixth. The Orioles had eight hits and took advantage of 12 walks by Black Hawk pitcher Kayla Melland.
