From TopsInSports:
Six home runs and a walkoff win Monday was everything Rossville's softball team had been working for.
Rossville’s offense boosted the Bulldawgs to 10-0 on the season and it was evident throughout the course of the 10-1, 9-8 doubleheader sweep over Silver Lake why that is the case.

Kinley Porter, who didn’t have a home run on the season, hit two home runs against the Eagles, including the walk-off home run in Game 2 to give Rossville the sweep.
“Today was the first time I’ve ever hit a home run and the fact that I hit two tonight, it was special,” Porter said. “In practice, we practice every outcome and visualize winning games. We put our practice into real-life tonight and it paid off.”
The Monday home run derby was led by Kinsey Perine, who had a combined three home runs in the doubleheader.
Corban University commit Vanesa Quinones also hit a long ball in Rossville’s Game 2 win after pitching a stellar game in the first game of the doubleheader..
