With a playoff win on the line, Cherokee rose to the challenge on Friday. They blew past the Howell Rebels 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Chiefs, who have now won 13 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Not much got past Brett Gable, who gave up just a hit and racked up 11 Ks to keep Howell off the board. Gable has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Alex Odud was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since May 3rd. The team also got some help courtesy of Brett Jackson, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Cherokee lost a few balls and finished the game with four home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
The win (which was Cherokee's third in a row) raised their record to 24-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Howell, they moved to 14-11-1 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Cherokee will welcome Kingsway on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Chiefs 2, the Dragons 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. Howell does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
