Wakulla extended their postseason success on Tuesday against West Florida. They didn't even let the Jaguars on the board, marking their second-straight 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the War Eagles, who have now won eight matchups by nine runs or more so far this season.

The result came thanks to Charley Butler's shutout, as she gave up just two hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 19 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Jenna Cross and Cylie Long did most of the damage at the plate: Cross went 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while Long got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Cross has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Parker Stubbs, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Wakulla always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .541. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Florida only posted an OBP of .182.

Wakulla is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for West Florida, with the defeat, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 15-13.

Coming up, Wakulla will challenge Paxon School For Advanced Studies at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Golden Eagles will roll in looking for their ninth straight win, something the War Eagles surely won't give up without a fight. West Florida does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
