It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Pace had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Crestview Bulldogs an 8-0 shutout. The Patriots might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Crestview's batters probably weren't too happy with Hannah DeMarcus, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 18 Ks (she gave up a single walk). DeMarcus has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than ten strikeouts in 20 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Gracie Ueberroth was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Grayson Cox was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
The win (which was Pace's fourth in a row) raised their record to 19-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Crestview, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-18 record this season.
Pace will take on Navarre at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Patriots' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Raiders have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season. Crestview does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
