It's playoff time, and Troy had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Palmer Bulldogs a 17-0 shutout on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won 19 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Isabella Garcia was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 16 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Melanie Zapata, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Jae Jae Phillips was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
Troy hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least four batters in six consecutive matchups.
Troy is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Palmer, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 12-14-1.
Troy will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair will be back at it again later today.
