Tymber Riley's fifth-inning sacrifice fly drove in Jenna Wildeman and snapped a 1-1 tie as Class 7A Bentonville slipped past Class 6A Sheridan in a nonconference battle between two defending state champions Monday at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.

Wildeman hit a one-out infield single, then stole second and third before Riley delivered the fly ball to left field and drove in the run. Bentonville (8-1) added another run in the sixth when Megan Crownover singled and later scored on a squeeze bunt by Keelah Griffith.

Wildeman had two of the Lady Tigers' seven hits. Cailey Cochran went the distance and threw a five-hitter while striking out seven, but one of those hits was a solo home run by Bailey Bibb in the seventh.
