Rising Sun came tearing into Saturday's game with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.4 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the North Decatur Chargers a 10-0 shutout.

Elaina Titkemeyer tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Rising Sun got a massive performance out of Tamryn Miller, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI and three doubles. Those three doubles gave Miller a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Reese Merica, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, two RBI, and one double.
