Lingenfelter gave up just four hits, one hard hit, and walked three in leading the Lady Chucks to their first-ever PIAA softball title on the 11th anniversary of Punxsutawney PIAA Class 3A baseball championship in 2007.
Lingenfelter had an RBI double in the third inning and then scored on a base hit by Madison Stonbracker scoring the only two runs of the game.
Bethlehem Catholic did get the first two batters on in the top of the seventh, but a popped up bunt, a groundout and a three-pitch strikeout sealed the victory for the Lady Chucks.
