Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Dunedin walked away with it. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-4 win over the Mulberry Panthers on Tuesday. Winning may never get old, but the Falcons sure are getting used to it with their sixth in a row.
Abby McLemore spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Olivia Preston, who went 2-for-3 with one home run. Aliyah Roseman was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI.
Dunedin hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least three batters in four consecutive games.
Dunedin's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Mulberry, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 17-11.
Coming up, Dunedin will take on Academy of the Holy Names at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Jaguars will roll in looking for their eighth straight victory, something the Falcons surely won't give up without a fight. Mulberry does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
