It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Switzerland County had no problem doing just that on Monday. They were the clear victors by a 19-1 margin over the Austin Eagles. Considering the Pacers have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Zayne Smith was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI.
In other batting news, Cooper Todd was a standout: he went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those four hits gave him a new career-high. Roman Hite was another key player, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with three runs and three RBI.
Switzerland County was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .562. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Switzerland County and bumps their season record up to 14-12. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for Austin, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-16.
Coming up, Switzerland County will challenge Providence at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Pacers will need to watch out since the Pioneers have now posted at least ten runs in their last three matchups. Austin does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
