It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but New Palestine had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They blew past the Roncalli Royals 7-1. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won 17 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Sadey Hughbanks spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 19 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Katie Hirschy, who fired off two home runs and three runs while going 4-for-4. That's the most home runs she has posted since May 1st. Another player making a difference was Payton Dye, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with two runs.
The victory (which was New Palestine's fifth in a row) raised their record to 25-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for Roncalli, their defeat dropped their record down to 22-8.
As of now, neither New Palestine nor the Royals have any future games scheduled.
