Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only South Bend Riley walked away with it. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Michigan City Wolves a 15-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Wildcats have won 12 games by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with six RBI and two doubles. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, South Bend Riley got a massive performance out of RACHEL HUNT, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Those four runs gave HUNT a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of ALEIGHANA CLEMONS, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one double.
South Bend Riley always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .697. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
South Bend Riley is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Michigan City, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-19.
As of now, neither South Bend Riley nor the Wolves have any future games scheduled.
