It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact North Putnam can now relate to. They lost 9-0 to the Greencastle Tiger Cubs on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to North Putnam of the 16-6 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April.
For Greencastle's part, not much got past Ali Hassler, who gave up just one hit and racked up 13 Ks to keep North Putnam off the board. Hassler has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 17 consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Allie Beaman, who went 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBI, and two runs. Sarah Simmerman was another key contributor, scoring three runs while going 2-for-3.
North Putnam has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which is still a better percentage than their 6-19 record this season. As for Greencastle, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 12-9 record this season.
As of now, neither North Putnam nor Greencastle have any future games scheduled.
