It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Rogers had no problem doing just that on Sunday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Tolman Tigers a 2-0 shutout. Winning may never get old, but Rogers sure is getting used to it with their ninth in a row.
Not much got past Robert Dufault, who gave up just four hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Tolman off the board. Dufault has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Darren Carter was excellent, scoring a run and stealing three bases while going 2-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in the last eight games he's played.
Rogers is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 17-5-1 record this season. As for Tolman, their defeat ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 19-6.
As of now, neither Rogers nor Tolman have any future games scheduled.
