Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Philip Simmons walked away with it. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Lake City Panthers a 10-0 shutout on Monday. The Iron Horses might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Nolan Clifford, who gave up just two hits and racked up seven Ks to keep Lake City off the board. Clifford also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Philip Simmons is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 9-13 otherwise.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kyle Bachmann, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Brian Ebeling was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Philip Simmons was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. The last time their batting average was this high was back in April of 2024.
The win (which was Philip Simmons' third in a row) raised their record to 15-13. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Lake City, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-7.
As of now, neither Philip Simmons nor the Panthers have any future games scheduled.
