Softball Recap: Riverview Sarasota Sets Scoring Season-High Against Southeast

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Riverview Sarasota). They never let the Southeast Seminoles get on the board and left with a 17-0 win on Friday. The Rams haven't had any issues with the Seminoles recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.

Olivia Stacey made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). Furthermore, she didn't allow a single walk, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-3. She also brought in three RBI, marking her first of the season.

Riverview Sarasota pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road.

As for Southeast, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-4.

Looking ahead, Riverview Sarasota will be playing in front of their home fans against Braden River at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Riverview Sarasota's pitching crew has only allowed 0.6 runs per game this season, so Braden River's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Southeast, they are taking a road trip to take on St. Petersburg Catholic at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Southeast has given up an average of 23.4 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
