It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but El Campo had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They skirted past the Calhoun Sandcrabs 4-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Ricebirds have posted since March 25th.
Carlee Bubela made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 18 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
Bubela wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Adrienne Rodriguez, who went 1-for-3 with one run.
El Campo has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-7-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Calhoun, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-15.
El Campo will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Sandcrabs: the pair will be back at it again later today.
