It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Leander had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Seguin Matadors 14-1. Considering the Lions have won 18 games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Kylee Arnold made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over five innings pitched. Arnold was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Rachel Grundei was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Madelyn Lee, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Leander was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .567. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .316 or higher in eight consecutive contests.
Leander has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Seguin, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 29-8.
As of now, neither Leander nor the Matadors have any future games scheduled.
