Loyalton had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They blew past the Hayfork Timberjacks 10-3 on Saturday. Considering the Grizzlies have won 13 contests by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Cooper Holland made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Gus Petterson, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Preston Hubbs was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
The win (which was Loyalton's sixth in a row) raised their record to 17-7. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Hayfork, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-13.
As of now, neither Loyalton nor the Timberjacks have any future games scheduled.
