It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Montgomery had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They blew past the Dayton Broncos 9-1. Considering the Bears have won 12 matchups by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Cason Irwin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on six hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Karson Nelson and Grant Richardson did most of the damage at the plate: Nelson went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI, while Richardson went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Chase Hiatt was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
The victory (which was Montgomery's fifth in a row) raised their record to 20-10-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Dayton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-16.
Montgomery will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Broncos: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.
