It's playoff time, and Lubbock-Cooper had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the Memorial Mavericks 11-1 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Pirates, who have now won 20 games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Brooklyn Ray spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on eight hits and racked up 14 Ks. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 5.2 strikeouts per game.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Addison Luna, who went 3-for-5 with three runs, one triple, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of McKanna Garcia, who went 2-for-5 with three RBI, one triple, and one run.
Lubbock-Cooper is on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Memorial, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-20.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Lubbock-Cooper beat the Mavericks by a score of 11-1 later that day.
