It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but University Prep had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They won by a run and slipped past the Colusa RedHawks 5-4. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Panthers.

Hailey Pebley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on ten hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Madisyn Rubalcava, who went 2-for-3 with two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Aubrey Caudell, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.

University Prep's win bumped their record up to 18-11-2. As for Colusa, they moved to 21-8 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.

University Prep will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on San Leandro at 4:00 p.m. on the 3rd. The Pirates' pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Colusa does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
