Pendleton County had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Wahama White Falcons on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcat, who have now won 24 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Baylee Beachler made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two hits in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, Pendleton County let Avery Townsend and Lizzie Alt run wild. Townsend went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Alt went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run. That's the most hits Alt has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Chesnee Colaw, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Pendleton County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .577. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wahama only posted an OBP of .188.

The win was the tenth in a row for Pendleton County, bringing their record up to 31-2. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Wahama, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 29-9 record this season.

As of now, neither Pendleton County nor Wahama have any future games scheduled.
