Rising Sun had already won 11 in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.8 runs) and they went ahead and made it 12 on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 15-0 margin over the Southwestern Rebels. The Shiners might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by six runs or more this season.
Emily Oatman was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those three runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Ryan Works and Lily Courtney did most of the damage at the plate: Works went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Courtney went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI Works has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Tamryn Miller, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
Rising Sun always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .581. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southwestern only posted an OBP of .188.
Rising Sun pushed their record up to 13-3 with the victory, which was their 18th straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Southwestern, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-10.
