It's playoff time, and Marina had no trouble coming through when it counted. They were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over the Westlake Warriors on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won 12 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Mia Valbuena spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up 13 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 16 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Eva Mazzotti was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and two doubles. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Rachel Ruiz, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Marina kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in eight consecutive games.
Marina has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 19-13 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Westlake, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 19-14.
As of now, neither Marina nor the Warriors have any future games scheduled.
