Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Northwest Rankin walked away with it. They never let the Hernando Tigers get on the board and left with a 9-0 win on Thursday. Considering the Cougars have won 18 matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
The result came thanks to Bella Pierce's shutout, as she gave up just four hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brooke Smith, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in February. Tavia Archie was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI.
Northwest Rankin has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 24 of their last 26 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 33-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Hernando, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 33-4.
As of now, neither Northwest Rankin nor the Tigers have any future games scheduled.
