Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Petal walked away with it. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-4 win over the St. Martin Yellow Jackets on Friday. This was a revenge game for the Panthers: when they faced off against the Yellow Jackets back in March, they had to take a 11-0 defeat.
Jaley Weathersby spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on nine hits.
At the plate, Layla Brock was incredible, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Kenleigh Morgan was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.
Petal hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least four batters in three consecutive games.
Petal has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for St. Martin, their loss dropped their record down to 14-12-1.
Petal will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Yellow Jackets: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
