Washington had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They blew past the Louisburg Warriors 9-0 on Tuesday. The Pam Pack might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by nine runs or more this season.

Emma Orr made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 16 over seven innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one double.

In other batting news, Carly Woolard was excellent, going 2-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season. Alani Hyatt was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.

Washington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Louisburg only posted a batting average of .083.

Washington is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Louisburg, their loss dropped their record down to 10-9.

Looking ahead, Washington will head out to take on South Granville at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Pam Pack 2.4, the Vikings 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Louisburg does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
