Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Oakland Tech walked away with it. They never let Leadership get on the board and left with a 28-0 victory on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won 11 contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Oakland Tech gave Alejandro Mercado the start and clearly made the right call: he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

On the hitting side, Oscar Navarro was incredible, going 3-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and one triple. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Diego Delgado, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.

Oakland Tech always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .811. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Oakland Tech's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-10. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.4 runs over those games. As for Leadership, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season.

Oakland Tech will challenge Oakland at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bulldogs will need to watch out since the Wildcats have now posted at least ten runs in their last four games. Leadership does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
