It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but School Without Walls had no problem doing just that on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 12-3 margin over the Bell Griffins. The result was nothing new for the Penguins, who have now won 12 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Braden Sprinzen looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Philip Wheeler, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, one triple, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Nolan Smith, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
School Without Walls always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .536. They are a perfect 11-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
The win made it two in a row for School Without Walls and bumps their season record up to 17-9. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 runs in those games. As for Bell, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-10 record this season.
