It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Whitney can now relate to. They fell just short of the Mildred Eagles by a score of 2-1 on Friday. Whitney was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Mildred apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played last Thursday.
For Mildred's part, Noah Garcia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up seven Ks. Garcia has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Gabe Irvine, who went 1-for-2 with a triple and two RBI.
Whitney has traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last nine matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 11-15 record this season. As for Mildred, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 12-5-2 record this season.
While Whitney had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled on Saturday.
