It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but South Walton had no problem doing just that on Monday. They were the clear victors by a 24-1 margin over the Pensacola Tigers. The Seahawks' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Charlie Willcox looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Coleman Borthwick was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in February. Cameron Tipton-Thomas was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.
South Walton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .694. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.
South Walton is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Pensacola, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-11.
Looking ahead, South Walton will square off against West Florida at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Seahawks 2, the Jaguars 3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Pensacola does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
