It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Murray had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They blew past the Viewmont Vikings 9-1. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by six runs or more this season.

Danny Blaylock spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Degan Biltz, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Conner Whitehead, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Murray is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Viewmont, the loss snapped their winning streak at eight games and leaves them with a 18-10 record.

Murray will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Vikings: the pair will be back at it again later today.
