Rifle had lost five games on the road dating back to last season, but after bumping their record up to 4-1 on Saturday that streak is in the rearview. They never let the Montrose Red Hawks get on the board and left with a 6-0 victory. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by six runs or more this season.
Rylan Petree was excellent, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. Tyhler Decrow was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one RBI.
Having lost for the first time this season, Montrose fell to 3-1. They were red-hot at the plate heading into the game (they scored no less than ten runs in the three matchups prior), but Rifle's pitcher proved too tough.
On Montrose's side, Bentley Schiller spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and five unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up nine Ks. Schiller has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Montrose saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Aubrey Blacker, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base. Blacker has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. Arianna Mora also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Montrose beat Rifle by a score of 3-2 later that day.
