Despite a phenomenal run in the regular season, Alva couldn't carry that success into this playoff game. They fell just short of the Jones Longhorns by a score of 3-2 on Friday. Having soared to a lofty 11 runs in the game before, the Goldbugs couldn't push the score so high this time.
Trinity Stevens spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Alva saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Parker Grimsley, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
Alva's defeat dropped their record down to 23-11. As for Jones, they have been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-14 record this season.
As of now, neither Alva nor Jones have any future games scheduled.
