It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Golden West had no problem doing just that on Friday. They had just enough and edged out the Taft Wildcats 6-4. For the Trailblazers, this counts as revenge for the 5-0 win the Wildcats walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2023.
Khianna Hardwick spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, Golden West's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Erin Fawkes, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most doubles Fawkes has posted since back in March.
The win snapped Golden West's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 15-12-1 record. As for Taft, they moved to 13-12 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak.
