It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Auburndale had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Pasco Pirates a 6-0 shutout. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Auburndale also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2022.
Pasco's batters probably weren't too happy with Jordan Honeycutt, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 13 Ks (she gave up a single walk). Honeycutt has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Hailey Bradley was excellent, scoring a run and stealing two bases. The team also got some help courtesy of Kathryn Devore, who scored a run while going 1-for-1.
Auburndale is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a massive bump to their 12-14 record this season. As for Pasco, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-8.
Auburndale will take on Osceola at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Osceola is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.7 runs per game this season. Pasco does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
