It's playoff time, and Union Academy had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the South Stanly Rowdy Rebel Bulls 10-0 on Friday. Considering the Cardinals have won 20 matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Avery Wilson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over six innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, Paige Quinn was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Laney Hildreth was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs.
Union Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .528. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South Stanly only posted an OBP of .000.
Union Academy pushed their record up to 23-1 with the win, which was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season.
