It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Christian Home Educators Fellowship had no problem doing just that on Friday. They were the clear victors by an 18-7 margin over the Good Samaritan HomeSchool Hornets. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won 11 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Hudson Champlin made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over 5.2 innings pitched. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one run.

In other batting news, Matthew Steele and Aaron Taylor did most of the damage at the plate: Steele got on base in all five of his plate appearances with four stolen bases and four runs, while Taylor went 2-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Christian Home Educators Fellowship is undefeated when Taylor posts two or more runs, but 6-8 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Noah Whitehead, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Christian Home Educators Fellowship always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .575. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The victory (which was Christian Home Educators Fellowship's third in a row) raised their record to 13-8. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Good Samaritan HomeSchool, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-5 record this season.

Christian Home Educators Fellowship will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Acadiana Christian at 11:30 a.m. The Patriots' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Lions have averaged an impressive 12.3 runs per game this season. Good Samaritan HomeSchool does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
