It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Saline had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They beat the Bedford Kicking Mules by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 9-3. The Hornets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 16 contests by six runs or more this season.
Abby Curtis spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Saline got a massive performance out of Sydney Hastings, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. That's the most runs Hastings has posted since back in April. Ashley Malinczak was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
The victory (which was Saline's sixth in a row) raised their record to 22-3-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Bedford, their loss dropped their record down to 14-5-1.
