The Moncks Corner Dixie Belles, representing South Carolina in the Dixie Belles World Series in Alexandria, La., is one of four teams remaining in the double-elimination tournament.
Moncks Corner hammered Florida 15-3 Monday afternoon and avenged its lone loss with an 8-5 victory over Texas in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. The final out was made after 2:15 a.m.
