It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but St. David had no problem doing just that on Friday. They had just enough and edged out the Williams Vikings 5-4. The victory was familiar territory for the Tigers, who have now won 14 matchups in a row.
Paisley Gooding spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 19 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jasmine Wise, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
St. David pushed their record up to 21-5 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Williams, they moved to 15-12 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Coming up, St. David will take on Joseph City at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 2.7, the Wildcats 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Williams does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
