New Kent had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They walked away with a 6-1 win over the York Falcons on Friday. The Trojans are really starting to get used to good results now that the team has won 11 straight.
New Kent got a great performance from Robert Matthew Gentry as he struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). Gentry has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances.
At the plate, New Kent let Tyler Warren and Grayson Hobson run wild. Warren went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Hobson went a perfect 3-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Those three hits gave Hobson a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Keegan Branch, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.
New Kent pushed their record up to 20-2 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for York, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-14 record this season.
New Kent will challenge Colonial Heights on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Trojans 1.6, the Colonials 4) so any runs scored will be well earned. York does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
