River View barely beat Columbia the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Panthers blew past the Coyotes 13-0 on Friday. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matches by ten runs or more this season.

Kaydence Mathews made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Mathews was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-4. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bree Stacy, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 4-for-4. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Courtney Morris, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

River View kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits every time they've taken the field this season.

River View's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 19.2 runs over those games. As for Columbia, with the defeat, they broke their seven-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-3.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: River View beat the Coyotes by a score of 20-3 later that day.
