Dunlap had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They put the hurt on the Geneseo Maple Leafs with a sharp 8-2 victory on Friday. Considering the Eagles have won 14 matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Sutton Centoni spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 19 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Lexi Hamer, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Gabby Drake was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run.
Dunlap was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .385 or higher in three consecutive games.
Dunlap pushed their record up to 28-5 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.5 runs over those games. As for Geneseo, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 24-9.
As of now, neither Dunlap nor the Maple Leafs have any future games scheduled.
