It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Hackley had no problem doing just that on Friday. They never let the Brearley Beavers onto the board and left with a 14-0 win. Hackley might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team's won 12 matches by six runs or more this season.
Andrea Hegarty made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. Hegarty has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't pitched less than five innings every time she's pitched this season. Hegarty was also big at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a home run, six RBI, and four runs.
In other batting news, Ellie Firsenbaum was incredible, scoring three runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Harper Kelsey was another key contributor, scoring two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
The victory (which was Hackley's fifth in a row) raised their record to 14-1.
As of now, neither they nor Brearley have any future games scheduled.
