Box Elder had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Everything went their way against the Olympus Titans on Wednesday as they made off with a 13-4 win. Considering the Bees have won 22 matchups by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Kennadie Blackmer made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 16 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run.

In other pitching news, Box Elder got a great performance from Lucy Braegger as she pitched 4.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Kailee Hall, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. She is on a roll when it comes to home runs, as she's now launched at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Jenna Marble was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run.

Box Elder always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .553. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Olympus only posted an OBP of .312.

Box Elder is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Olympus, their defeat dropped their record down to 22-5.

Box Elder wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, a 9-5 loss against Salem Hills on the 21st. Olympus does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
