Needles extended their postseason success on Saturday against White Pine. They beat the Bobcats by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Audrina Bullchild spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Peyton Jackson was incredible, going 4-for-5 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Edey Ponce, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Needles kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 11.8.
Needles is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 15-14 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for White Pine, they moved to 17-7 with that defeat, which also ended their six-game winning streak.
Needles will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bobcats: the pair will be back at it again later today.
