With a playoff win on the line, Rockledge rose to the challenge on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the Merritt Island Mustangs 2-1. This was a revenge game for the Raiders: when they faced off against the Mustangs on April 8th, they had to take a 2-0 loss.
Haley Smith spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up 14 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ahraya Dalaq, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, one double, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Gizelle Arteaga, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one double.
Rockledge is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Merritt Island, they now have a losing record of 12-13.
As of now, neither Rockledge nor the Mustangs have any future games scheduled.
