Chicago Christian had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Peotone Blue Devils a 10-0 shutout on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Christian Flutman made a big impact no matter where he played. He kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Rafe Slager, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Josh Sedakis was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
Chicago Christian always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .520. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Peotone only posted an OBP of .250.
Chicago Christian's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 24-10. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Peotone, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-19 record this season.
As of now, neither Chicago Christian nor Peotone have any future games scheduled.
