It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Wheeler had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the West Lowndes Panthers a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Eagles have won 15 games by more than eight runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Emma Kate Beckham made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Beckham was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Macie Arnold, who earned two runs and three stolen bases. Another player making a difference was Kenzie Shaw, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
Wheeler has been performing well recently as they've won 14 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for West Lowndes, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-11.
As of now, neither Wheeler nor the Panthers have any future games scheduled.
