It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Carson had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 win over the South Point Red Raiders.
Carson got a great performance from Kendal Sifford as he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. Sifford has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Carson saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was TJ Harris, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI. Another was Cameron Williamson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double.
