It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Bunn had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They skirted past the West Bladen Knights 5-3.
Emily Baez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Payton Wood, who went 3-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. Brooke Harrah was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Bunn kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Bladen only managed six hits.
