Bloomingdale had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They never let the Dwyer Panthers get on the board and left with an 18-0 win on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Bulls, who have now won 13 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Natalie Cable was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 17 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Marley Boucher was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Sofia-Lynn Becker, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs and two RBI.

Bloomingdale always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .647. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Dwyer only posted an OBP of .143.

Bloomingdale is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Dwyer, with the loss, they broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 14-13.

Coming up, Bloomingdale will square off against Palm Beach Gardens at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Gators' pitching crew has only allowed 2.4 runs per game this season, so the Bulls' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Dwyer does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
