With a playoff win on the line, Lompoc rose to the challenge on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Frontier Titans a 5-0 shutout. Five seems to be a good number for the Braves as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Not much got past Alex Brooks, who gave up just five hits to keep Frontier off the board. Brooks has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Teagan Thompson was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024. Grace Day was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
