It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but J.H. Rose had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They never let the Williams Bulldogs get on the board and left with a 15-0 win. Considering the Rampants have won 14 matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Josh Roberson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs.
In other pitching news, Owen Hardee looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Parker Watson, who fired off two home runs and eight RBI while going 3-for-3. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high. Ethan Simmons was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
The victory (which was J.H. Rose's eighth in a row) raised their record to 22-3. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Williams, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 12 of their last 14 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.
J.H. Rose will take on Hunt on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Rampants 3, the Warriors 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Williams does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
