It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Hackleburg had no problem doing just that on Monday. They blew past the Lynn Bears 14-1. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 21 contests by seven runs or more this season.
Laine Steward made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
In other batting news, Brooklyn Butler was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, eight RBI, and two runs. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Saylor Cooper was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
Hackleburg's win was their 19th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 32-9. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Lynn, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 17-13-2 record this season.
Lynn wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, a 5-4 win against Vina on the 28th. Hopefully Hackleburg paid attention to the Bears' contest: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Bears on Tuesday.
