Columbia had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Sweeny on Tuesday. The Roughnecks were the clear victors by a 9-2 margin over the Bulldogs. Considering the Roughnecks have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent : she hasn't given up a single walk any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Rylea Dent, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Gracie Raley also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
