It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but West Union had no problem doing just that on Friday. They walked away with a 4-1 victory over the Taylorsville Tartars. Four seems to be a good number for the Eagles as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Grant Martin made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Martin wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Benton Burks, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI.
