Reed came tearing into Saturday's contest with ten straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.1 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Douglas Tigers with a sharp 12-2 win. The Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 games by six runs or more this season.

Kehaulani Tambaoan made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Tiare Kanae, who fired off two home runs and five RBI while going 3-for-4. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Krystyn Noble, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double.

Reed was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .400 or higher in four consecutive matches.

Reed pushed their record up to 17-3-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Douglas, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 16-7.
