It's playoff time, and Tom Bean had no trouble coming through when it counted. They put the hurt on the Cooper Bulldogs with a sharp 9-1 win on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Tomcats, who have now won 15 contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Keaton Reed was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching six innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two doubles.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Donnie Hooten, who went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games he's played. Braylin Barrett was another key player, going 1-for-5 with one triple and one RBI.
The victory (which was Tom Bean's seventh in a row) raised their record to 19-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Cooper, they moved to 16-6 with that loss, which also ended their seven-game winning streak.
Tom Bean will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
