Roosevelt never let their opponents score on Friday. They were the clear victors by an 8-0 margin over the Lincoln Cardinals. Considering the Roughriders have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
The result came thanks to Ruby Frish's shutout, as she gave up just five hits and racked up ten Ks.
On the hitting side, Roosevelt let Annabella Murphy and Zulaykha Armstrachan run wild. Murphy went 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Armstrachan went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. Armstrachan is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Livi Jones, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Roosevelt kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
Roosevelt's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-7. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Lincoln, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-12.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Roosevelt will host Ida B. Wells at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Guardians have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.36 runs per game on average), something the Roughriders will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Lincoln, they will take on Cleveland at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Warriors will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Cardinals surely won't give up without a fight.
