It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Steele Canyon had no problem doing just that on Friday. They came out on top against the San Marcos Knights by a score of 3-2 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). For the Cougars, this counts as revenge for the 6-2 victory the Knights walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2019.
Belle Will spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
