Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Pinecrest Academy walked away with it. Everything went their way against the Skipstone Academy Warriors on Friday as they made off with a 10-0 win.

Pinecrest Academy let Cooper Chupp and Charles Dodson run wild. Chupp went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and three runs, while Dodson got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run. Those two stolen bases gave Chupp a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Liam McCavitt, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

Pinecrest Academy has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. As for Skipstone Academy, they dropped their record down to 4-15 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.
