Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Union Academy walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Perquimans Pirates with a sharp 10-0 win on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Cardinals, who have now won 23 contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Avery Wilson made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Keilana Burgess, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Carlie Granger, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
The victory was the seventh in a row for Union Academy, bringing their record up to 28-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Perquimans, with the loss, they broke their 14-game winning streak and moved their record to 27-3.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Union Academy beat the Pirates by a score of 4-1 on Saturday.
