RICHLAND -- Kamiakin's Marissa Rodriguez proved you don't have to play a ton of minutes to have a big impact.
The senior forward didn't start Saturday's game, playing just 20 minutes of an 80-minute match, but she finished it in a big way. Rodriguez executed a slick give-and-go with midfielder Chandra Stevenson and scored with just two minutes left in the game to give the Braves a 1-0 win over Hanford in Richland.
"I'm not a starter, and I'm not that great at scoring," Rodriguez said.
