Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Blanchester walked away with it. They blew past the Clermont Northeastern Rockets 8-1 on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Reece Ledford spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jocelyn Lansing, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in April. Alayna Davenport was another key player, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Blanchester kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They are 7-1 when they post 11 or more hits.
Blanchester has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-10 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.9 runs over those games. As for Clermont Northeastern, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-11 record this season.
