Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Riverview walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Flat Rock Rams with a sharp 11-5 victory on Saturday. Considering the Pirates have won 16 games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Olivia Salinas made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run over 4.1 innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, firing off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 2-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Megan Southward was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Alexis Ferrara, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Riverview was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .452. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Flat Rock only posted a batting average of .296.
Riverview is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-8-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Flat Rock, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-18.
As of now, neither Riverview nor the Rams have any future games scheduled.
