Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Fort Walton Beach walked away with it. They blew past the Rickards Raiders 16-1 on Monday. Considering the Vikings have won 11 contests by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Rilyn Douglas made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Douglas was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Fort Walton Beach got a massive performance out of Alyx Hall, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI Hall has posted since back in March. Hannah Isham was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one RBI.
The win (which was Fort Walton Beach's third in a row) raised their record to 17-8. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Rickards, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-12 record this season.
Fort Walton Beach will face off against Arnold at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The last three games the Marlins have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. Rickards does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
