It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Rodriguez had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They blew past the Tracy Bulldogs 11-4. Considering the Mustangs have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Nick Schikore tossed a big game, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Jack Jacobson was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Benjaman 'BJ' Smith, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.
Rodriguez was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .464. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .310 or higher in four consecutive matches.
Rodriguez has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games. As for Tracy, their loss dropped their record down to 12-15.
Looking ahead, Rodriguez will challenge Whitney at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats' pitching crew has only allowed 3.4 runs per game this season, so the Mustangs' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Tracy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
