With a playoff win on the line, Harlingen South rose to the challenge on Friday. They blew past the Vela Sabercats 9-3. The result was nothing new for the Hawks, who have now won 15 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Lexi Sandoval made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 14 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaylin Mata, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Evette Garcia, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base.

The win (which was Harlingen South's seventh in a row) raised their record to 20-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for Vela, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 12-10.

As of now, neither Harlingen South nor the Sabercats have any future games scheduled.
