Plant City barely beat Robinson the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Raiders never let the Knights get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory on Friday. Considering the Raiders have won 12 contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Kayleigh Gibbs was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out six over seven innings pitched. Gibbs was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, Plant City got a massive performance out of Kyleigh Meiers, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That double was Meiers' first of the season. Rylee Mobley was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.

Plant City kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in three consecutive games.

Plant City's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-6. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Robinson, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.

Plant City didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 13-3 win against Jefferson on the 15th. As for Robinson, they also wasted no time getting back out on the field and have already played their next game, an 18-9 defeat against Riverview on the 15th.
