It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but St. Stanislaus had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 9-3 margin over the Seminary Bulldogs. The Rock-a-Chaws might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Parker Stewart spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Gabe Podlin, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Brooks Ilgenfritz was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run.
St. Stanislaus always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Seminary only posted an OBP of .303.
St. Stanislaus pushed their record up to 22-14 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Seminary, their loss dropped their record down to 28-7-2.
St. Stanislaus will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
