It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Kiefer had no problem doing just that on Friday. They put the hurt on the Keys Cougars with a sharp 7-1 win. Considering the Trojans have won 17 games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Addison Dossett made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

In other batting news, Kiefer got a big performance out of Maleigha Presley, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Khloe Vinson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Kiefer is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 32-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Keys, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 19-12.

As of now, neither Kiefer nor the Cougars have any future games scheduled.
