Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Genoa Central). They never let the Ashdown Panthers get on the board and left with an 18-0 victory on Friday. The Dragons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Rylee Fike made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. She also hit a triple, marking her first of the season.
