Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Pine Island walked away with it. They were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Caledonia Warriors on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Luke Sems made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Landon Lowrie was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double.

The win was the sixth in a row for Pine Island, bringing their record up to 19-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Caledonia, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 16-7.

As of now, neither Pine Island nor the Warriors have any future games scheduled.
