Newberry put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They never let the Interlachen Rams get on the board and left with a 15-0 win. Considering the Panthers have won four games by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Madison Rodgers made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-4. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in RBI (three).
In other batting news, Gracie Mattson was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and one triple. Malana Kennard was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.
Newberry always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .545. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Interlachen only posted an OBP of .200.

Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Interlachen, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-3.
