It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Orthopaedic had no problem doing just that on Monday. They never let the Torres Toros get on the board and left with a 12-0 victory. The Vipers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matchups by nine runs or more this season.
Brianna Ramirez made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Orthopaedic got a massive performance out of Vanessa Castillo, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Castillo has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Elizabeth Ajin, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.
Orthopaedic was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .379 or higher in five consecutive contests.
Orthopaedic has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 20.2 runs over those games. As for Torres, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-12.
Coming up, Orthopaedic will square off against Marquez at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Gladiators' pitching crew has only allowed 2.1 runs per game this season, so the Vipers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Torres does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
