Carlie Wilkins delivered on the mound, West Point scored all the runs it needed early, and the Lady Warriors took down Russellville 3-0 on Wednesday night to win the Class 5A, Area 15 Tournament.

The No. 7 Maroon and White (27-13) will compete in the North Regional Tournament in Florence beginning next Wednesday.

West Point took what turned out to be a commanding advantage in the first inning.

Wilkins doubled home Bethany Minck, Katie Beth Yovino scored on a Russellville error, and Sidney Burks’ groundout plated Braelee Quinn to give the Lady Warriors a 3-0 cushion.

That was more than enough for Wilkins, who scattered five hits and four strikeouts in the complete-game effort.

The Lady Golden Tigers had a pair of runners in scoring position in the second and third innings, but the UAB signee worked out of trouble each time and allowed just two baserunners the rest of the way.

Quinn provided three hits for West Point, while Wilkins (RBI), Burks (RBI) and Alexis Kimbril tallied one apiece.
