The Riverside Bulldogs softball team had a 10-0 victory over the Shenandoah Fillies on Thursday night in Oakland. The major factor for the Bulldogs success against the Fillies was the excellent pitching from 8th grader Peyton Schafer inside the circle. Schafer had little difficult controlling the Shenandoah batters leaving two runners stranded multiple times throughout the evening. Schafer pitched 6 innings, had 9 strikeouts, 4 hits, 1 walk, and no runs.

When it came to batting Riverside stayed consistent scoring at least 1 run in five of six innings and having 10 hits. Schafer hit well at the plate going 2-3 with an RBI and a homerun.  Kaycie Perkins also had a triple with 2 RBI’s and 2 walks. The Bulldogs were up 4-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth where they poured in six runs to achieve the run rule at 10-0.

Riverside Head Coach Lacie Patterson was impressed with the way her team managed to correct their mistakes throughout the ball game.

Coach Patterson also gave credit to the way Schafer shined on the night.

The win bumps Riverside’s record to 13-9 on the year. The Bulldogs next game will be at home on Friday against Logan Magnolia. Coach Patterson wants to see her team’s passion carry over into their contest against the Panthers.

Shenandoah’s loss marks them at 9-12 for the season and their next matchup will be in Fremont Mills on Saturday.
