Softball Recap: Rio Vista Continues Road Dominance on Friday

Rio Vista won against Hico last Wednesday with 15 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Friday. Rio Vista beat the Meridian Yellowjackets by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 15-3. The win continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Yellowjackets: they've now won seven in a row.

Addison Findley made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Findley was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

In other pitching news, Kailee Dyer looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). What's more, she gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest she's had since back in January.

Back at the plate, Ayden Greenslade was a standout: she went 1-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. She is on a roll when it comes to home runs, as she's now launched at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Keller Rodriguez, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.
