Houston's Riley Scheets runs the bases during Monday's home game against Alton.

The Houston softball team completed an undefeated conference run Tuesday with a 10-8 victory at Liberty.

The Lady Tigers scored seven times in the top of the third inning to erase an early deficit and added three in the fourth to build a lead they never relinquished.

Senior Madison Curtis was 3-for-4 with three RBIs to lead the HHS offense. Emily Roberts also had three hits. Shelby Ozier had a pair of hits and scored twice. 

The Lady Tigers (13-6, 4-0 South Central Association) swiped 13 bases. Kameron Hall had a team-leading four steals. Riley Scheets had three. 

Houston scored double-digit runs for the 10th time. The Lady Tigers are 9-1 in those games. 

Roberts, who allowed 16 hits and eight earned runs, got the complete-game win. She struck out four and walked four. 

HHS completes the regular season at home Friday against Licking. The Lady Tigers received the third seed in the district Wednesday and will play Summersville at noon Monday. Houston is hosting the tournament.
