It's playoff time, and Tom Bean had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the Nocona Indians 11-1 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Tomcats, who have now won 16 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Keaton Reed made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cash Linder, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Another player making a difference was Donnie Hooten, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Tom Bean has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Nocona, they moved to 10-7 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak.

Tom Bean will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
