It's playoff time, and Columbus had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Sonoraville Phoenix a 2-0 shutout on Friday. The victory was nothing new for the Blue Devils as they're now sitting on five straight.

That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base.
Nottleman wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Christian Spivey, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI.

They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of five runs across that stretch.
