Rust Top Performers:

• The leadoff batter Haley Weatherspoon, the two-hole hitter Julie Gammage, and pitcher Leona Joshua out of the three-spot provided almost the entirety of the statistics at the plate, combining to go 6-for-8 (.750) with Weatherspoon totaling five bases via a triple and an RBI double plus scoring once, Gammage notching the team's other RBI on a single and also legging out a three-bagger, and Joshua reaching safely in all three plate appearances courtesy of two singles on top of a walk.

• Taliyah Griffin made it three triples on the afternoon for RC, hitting hers during her lone official at-bat (the other a sacrifice bunt) before coming around to touch the dish.

• Taniah Bowers did the small things well as she walked, proceeded to steal both bases, then score a run while Kendall Morgan and Amya Sampson added to the hit total with a single each.

Next:

• Coach Vivians was quoted as saying the Blue and White will have enough student-athletes to compete in Sunday's home finale, a 1/3 p.m. doubleheader versus Talladega College.
