Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Lake Braddock walked away with it. They were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology Colonials on Monday. Considering the Bruins have won 12 contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Sarah Allen made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Addison Forde, who fired off three home runs, four runs, and five RBI while going 4-for-4. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Emma Friedman also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

Lake Braddock always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .586. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology only posted an OBP of .348.

Lake Braddock has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 10-6.

As of now, neither Lake Braddock nor the Colonials have any future games scheduled.
