Softball Recap: Perry Snags Sixth Win in Last Eight Games

With a playoff win on the line, Perry rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They had just enough and edged out the Tolleson Wolverines 1-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Pumas have posted since April 1st.

Julianna Nava looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Perry's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jasmine Abeyta, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI. That's the most hits Abeyta has posted since back in March.

Perry hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They are 9-2 when they post two or more strikeouts.

Perry has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-13 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Tolleson, the defeat snapped their winning streak at ten games and leaves them with a 25-6 record.

Looking ahead, Perry will venture away from home to take on Queen Creek at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs will roll in looking for their 16th straight win, something the Pumas surely won't give up without a fight. Tolleson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
