Elizabeth Rife Game Report: @ West Carroll

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Elizabeth Rife stepped things up a notch to give River Ridge/Scales Mound the 'W'. Rife was unstoppable, striking out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 16 consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Rife and River Ridge/Scales Mound will head out to square off against Benton/Shullsburg at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Rife's big game helped the Wildcats snap a three-game streak of losses on the road. Can Rife lead the Wildcats to another win and start a streak of a new kind?
