Fossil Ridge got themselves on the board against Saginaw on Tuesday, but Saginaw never followed suit. They blew past the Rough Riders 12-0. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by seven runs or more this season.

Olivia Scott was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-2. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in RBI (three).

Scott wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Sarah Chrisman, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Briley Wilson was another, going 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

Fossil Ridge is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-3-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. Saginaw is on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-16.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Fossil Ridge beat Saginaw by a score of 12-0 on Wednesday.
