It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Dacula had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Everything went their way against the East Coweta Indians as they made off with a 9-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won 14 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Jared Glenn was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 15 batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and not a single walk). He has become a key player for Dacula: the team is 4-1 when he allows at most one hit, but 12-14 otherwise. Glenn was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

In other pitching news, Samuel Zaa looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Dacula is 3-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 13-14 otherwise.

Back at the plate, Reiston Durham was incredible, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in March. Another player making a difference was Mj Allen, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

With the victory, Dacula broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 16-15. As for East Coweta, their loss ended a ten-game streak of away wins and brought them to 25-6.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Indians beat Dacula by a score of 4-1 later that day.
