Buckingham had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Riverheads Gladiators an 8-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won ten matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Avery Schaeffer was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over six innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ethan Walter, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Ty Wilkerson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Buckingham's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Riverheads, they moved to 14-6 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
As of now, neither Buckingham nor the Gladiators have any future games scheduled.
