It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but New Site had no problem doing just that on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Sebastopol Bobcats. Considering the Royals have won 13 matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Landon Stanley made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
In other batting news, Rilyn Lambert was incredible, going 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Glen Ashton Jumper also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
New Site always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .519 or higher in three consecutive contests.
New Site pushed their record up to 19-7 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Sebastopol, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 18-9 record this season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: New Site beat Sebastopol by a score of 13-10 on Saturday.
