Caldwell County was limited to just three base hits, but the Lady Tigers made them count in a 2-1 win over Hopkins County Central on Thursday.
The game was a 7th District makeup date at Lady Tiger Field in Princeton.

Caldwell (14-10, 4-2) tied things when Majah Hollowell homered to left field leading off the bottom of the second inning.
