It's playoff time, and Midlothian Heritage had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the University Trojans an 8-0 shutout on Friday. The Jaguars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 contests by six runs or more this season.
Cayden Campbell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. What's more, he posted three strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with four stolen bases, two runs, and two doubles.
In other pitching news, Midlothian Heritage got a great performance from Gavin Railsback as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over six innings pitched. Railsback has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
Back at the plate, Midlothian Heritage let Trent Pace and Carter Rutenbar run wild. Pace got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Rutenbar went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Those three stolen bases gave Pace a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Mason Tye, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI.
Midlothian Heritage always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive matches.
Midlothian Heritage is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for University, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 15-13.
As of now, neither Midlothian Heritage nor the Trojans have any future games scheduled.
