Lapel had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Everything went their way against the Elwood Panthers on Thursday as they made off with a 13-1 victory. Considering the Bulldogs have won 15 contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Addison Bodenhorn spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on one hit and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Tatum Harper, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Paige Stires, who went 2-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Lapel lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
The win (which was Lapel's fourth in a row) raised their record to 22-6. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Elwood, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-19 record this season.
As of now, neither Lapel nor Elwood have any future games scheduled.
