Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rockmart). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Crisp County Cougars an 18-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Yellowjackets, who have now won ten matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Kaylee Huckaby looked comfortable as she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Rockmart let Madi Sanders and Bri Davis loose on the outfield. Sanders went 3-for-3 with a home run, six RBI, and three runs, while Davis went 4-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and two doubles. What's more, Davis also racked up four hits, the mostshe's had since back in September. Abi Teems was another key player, going 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Rockmart always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .759. That's a new trend for them: their average OBP was 35.6% earlier this season, but in their last five contests they've averaged 56.2%.
Rockmart is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 16 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 21-6 record this season. As for Crisp County, their loss was their eighth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 7-15.
As of now, neither Rockmart nor Crisp County have any future games scheduled.
