It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Camden County had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Ayden - Grifton Chargers a 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Bruins, who have now won 11 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Effie Drew made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Emma Gordon, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaitlynn Barnes, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one double.
Camden County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .560. They are a perfect 9-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Camden County's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-8. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Ayden - Grifton, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-14 record this season.
Camden County will square off against Heide Trask on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Bruins 3.6, the Titans 3.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. Ayden - Grifton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
