With a playoff win on the line, Rouse rose to the challenge on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 23-3 margin over the Liberty Hill Panthers. The Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 contests by six runs or more this season.
Blakely Barber made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March.

The team also got some help courtesy of Mariah Collins, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with six RBI and one double.
