Aubrey had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Everything went their way against the Carthage Bulldogs on Friday as they made off with a 12-2 win. Considering the Chaparrals have won 16 matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Mya Cherry made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She tossed six innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Abby Lynch-Buxton, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Carmen Alexander, who went 3-for-5 with three runs and one double.

Aubrey kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive games.

Aubrey has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 17 of their last 18 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 29-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Carthage, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 25-8-1.

Looking ahead, Aubrey will square off against Canton on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Chaparrals 1.9, the Eagles 2.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. Carthage does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
