Tumwater extended their postseason success on Friday against Lynden. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Lions a 6-0 shutout. The Thunderbirds might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Ella Ferguson, who gave up just a hit and racked up 14 Ks to keep Lynden off the board. Ferguson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Megan Barrett was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Zoe Fields, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
The win was the seventh in a row for Tumwater, bringing their record up to 19-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. As for Lynden, they moved to 15-8 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Tumwater will face off against Aberdeen at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Thunderbirds 2.5, the Bobcats 1.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. Lynden has already played their next contest (against Franklin Pierce), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
