It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Berlin Brothersvalley had no problem doing just that on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Carmichaels Mighty Mikes a 3-0 shutout. Winning may never get old, but the Mountaineers sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
Sam Walker made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out six over seven innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, one double, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April.
Walker wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Sydney Walker, who went 2-for-3 with one home run.
Berlin Brothersvalley pushed their record up to 19-3 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Carmichaels, their loss ended a 16-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 16-2.
Coming up, Berlin Brothersvalley is taking a road trip to take on Cambridge Springs on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Mountaineers 2.3, the Devils 2.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Carmichaels does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
