It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Widefield had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Evergreen Cougars. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Gladiators have posted since March 27th.
Nick Prantl was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Julian Varvaro Rodriguez was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Widefield has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Evergreen, they moved to 17-7 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.
As of now, neither Widefield nor the Cougars have any future games scheduled.
