It's playoff time, and Tom Bean had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Cooper Bulldogs a 4-0 shutout on Friday. The victory was nothing new for the Tomcats as they're now sitting on eight straight.
The result came thanks to Cash Linder's shutout, as he gave up just two hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Donnie Hooten, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Tom Bean's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-7 when he doesn't).
Tom Bean's record is now 20-7. As for Cooper, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 16-7.
Coming up, Tom Bean will challenge Nocona on Thursday. The Indians will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something the Tomcats surely won't give up without a fight. Cooper does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
