Auburn had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They put the hurt on the Narrows Green Waves with a sharp 12-0 victory on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 15 games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Not much got past McKenzie Booth, who gave up just a hit and racked up ten Ks to keep Narrows off the board. Booth has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hope Wilson, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Johnnie Gaynor was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Auburn kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Narrows only managed one hit.
The win (which was Auburn's eighth in a row) raised their record to 18-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Narrows, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-14 record this season.
Auburn will square off against Fort Chiswell at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Eagles' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Pioneers have averaged an impressive 6.2 runs per game this season. Narrows does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
