It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Sundown had no problem doing just that on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Ralls Jackrabbits a 15-0 shutout. The Roughnecks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 20 matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Breigh Gregory made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out nine over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brynly Gregory, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. She has been hot recently, having also posted at least one triple the last three times she's played. Another player making a difference was Emry Jourden, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Sundown kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ralls only managed one hit.
Sundown has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Ralls, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-16-1.
Sundown will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Jackrabbits: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled on Saturday.
