It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Santa Clara had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the St. Francis Sharks 8-0. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 matches by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Drew Diffenderfer, who gave up just a hit and racked up seven Ks to keep St. Francis off the board. Diffenderfer has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Santa Clara got a massive performance out of John Kepner, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double. Another player making a difference was Connor Houle, who went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Santa Clara kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive games.
Santa Clara is on a roll lately: they've won 21 of their last 22 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for St. Francis, their loss dropped their record down to 15-15.
As of now, neither Santa Clara nor the Sharks have any future games scheduled.
