It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but University Prep had no problem doing just that on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Colusa RedHawks a 3-0 shutout. For the Panthers, this counts as revenge for the 8-2 win the RedHawks walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.

The result came thanks to Jacob Lindell's shutout, as he gave up just four hits and racked up eight Ks.

At the plate, University Prep saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was David Wenham, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

University Prep has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-9-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Colusa, their loss dropped their record down to 7-18.

Looking ahead, University Prep will face off against Durham at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Panthers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Trojans have averaged an impressive 8 runs per game this season. Colusa does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
