It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Okeechobee had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They blew past the Dr. Joaquin Garcia Bulldogs 9-3. Nine seems to be a good number for the Brahmans as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Lilly Larson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Audra Friend was incredible, firing off three runs, three doubles, and three RBI while going 4-for-4. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Haylee Pendrey, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Okeechobee kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Dr. Joaquin Garcia only managed six hits.
The win made it two in a row for Okeechobee and bumps their season record up to 9-14. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Dr. Joaquin Garcia, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 12-11 record.
As of now, neither Okeechobee nor the Bulldogs have any future games scheduled.
