It's playoff time, and Barron Collier had no trouble coming through when it counted. Everything went their way against the Naples Golden Eagles on Tuesday as they made off with a 10-0 victory.

That's the most hits Hernandez Carr has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Mason Humphrey, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
Barron Collier pushed their record up to 19-6 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. As for Naples, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-17 record this season.
