It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Loving had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They were the clear victors by a 24-0 margin over the Capitan Tigers. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 contests by seven runs or more this season.
Capitan's batters probably weren't too happy with Braylee Hunt, who pitched a no hitter and racked up eight Ks (she gave up a single walk). Hunt has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Sierra Rodriguez was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, five stolen bases, and three runs. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Olyse Gonzalez, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
Loving always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .703. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Capitan only posted an OBP of .100.
