It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Spanish Springs had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They walked away with a 7-3 victory over the Douglas Tigers. That's two games straight that the Cougars have won by exactly four runs.

Lily Delamora spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Mackenzie Kirkendoll was excellent, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and one RBI. Maddy Marshall was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Spanish Springs has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-10-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Douglas, they moved to 22-9 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.

Spanish Springs and Douglas are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Cougars will challenge Reed at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. The Raiders will roll in looking for their fifth straight victory, something Spanish Springs surely won't give up without a fight. As for Douglas, they will face off against McQueen at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
