It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Milano had no problem doing just that on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Bartlett Bulldogs as they made off with a 9-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 11 matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Jesus Reyes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Kellson Miller, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Andres Ruelas was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI.

Milano has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-9-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Bartlett, with the defeat, they broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 17-12.

Milano will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair will be back at it again later today.
