Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Rossville walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Rochester Zebras with a sharp 9-2 victory on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Hornets, who have now won 19 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Avery Layton made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Autumn Paschal, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Addi Gorbett, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run.
The win was the tenth in a row for Rossville, bringing their record up to 23-5. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Rochester, the defeat snapped their winning streak at ten games and leaves them with a 21-5 record.
Looking ahead, Rossville will square off against Central Noble at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Hornets 2.8, the Cougars 2.1) so any runs scored will be well earned. Rochester does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
