It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Holmes County had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Chipley Tigers a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Blue Devils have won 11 games by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Bri Adams made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kiersten Womble, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February. Kendall Pugh was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Holmes County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .517. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chipley only posted an OBP of .062.

The win (which was Holmes County's third in a row) raised their record to 18-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Chipley, their loss dropped their record down to 15-7.

As of now, neither Holmes County nor the Tigers have any future games scheduled.
