It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Redan had no problem doing just that on Friday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Rutland Hurricanes a 9-0 shutout. Considering the Raiders have won 14 matchups by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Matthew Evans was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five stolen bases, four runs, and three doubles. He is becoming a predictor of Redan's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 12-1 (and 7-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Cross Redden, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.
Redan hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least four batters in six consecutive games.
Redan is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Rutland, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 11 of their last 12 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-14-1 record this season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Redan beat Rutland by a score of 18-3 later that day.
