Ross struck out 52 batters in 40 innings of work and allowed only five runs.
Troup also edged Linden-Kildare (2-1), who is ranked No. 5 in Class 2A.
The Lady Tigers plated both of their runs in the first inning in that game.
L-K outhit Troup 4-1, but had difficulty in getting base runners around to score.
Standley's two-run double was Troup's only hit in the game.
Ross fanned seven and gave up no walks to earn the win in the circle.
The Lady Tigers carved out victories over Elysian Fields (3-0) and Tyler Lee (5-0), while playing Gilmer to a 2-2 tie.
Bethany Mason went 1-for-3 and stole four bases in the Tyler Lee game.
Caitlin Tomlin lifted a home run in the game as a part of a five-hit Troup attack.
