Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Santa Fe walked away with it. They never let the Palatka Panthers get on the board and left with a 10-0 win on Thursday. This was a revenge game for the Raiders: when they faced off against the Panthers back in April, they had to take a 5-4 defeat.
Santa Fe got a great performance from Makenna Payne as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. Payne has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Santa Fe saw nine different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Maren Hornsby, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. Another was Juliana Mott, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
Santa Fe was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .455. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Palatka only posted a batting average of .062.
Santa Fe has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 16 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Palatka, they moved to 16-11 with that loss, which also ended their nine-game winning streak.
As of now, neither Santa Fe nor the Panthers have any future games scheduled.
