It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lincoln-Way West had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Joliet Central Steelmen a 10-0 shutout. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Michael Pettit made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over six innings pitched. Those ten strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Jackson Mansker was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three doubles, two runs, and two RBI. Those three doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Carson Paulas, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
The win (which was Lincoln-Way West's eighth in a row) raised their record to 28-7. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. As for Joliet Central, they are on a 27-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-30.
As of now, neither Lincoln-Way West nor the Steelmen have any future games scheduled.
