It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but El Cerrito had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Vallejo Redhawks an 18-0 shutout. The Gauchos might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 matches by ten runs or more this season.
Courtney Miles made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two hits in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Arlie Tatum, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, five RBI, and three runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Sanai Vanhook was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
El Cerrito kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive games.
El Cerrito pushed their record up to 18-3 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Vallejo, they moved to 8-8-1 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
As of now, neither El Cerrito nor the Redhawks have any future games scheduled.
