Despite a phenomenal run in the regular season, Chalker couldn't carry that success into this playoff game. They fell 4-0 to the Mathews Mustangs on Wednesday. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, the Wildcats' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Tatum Hudak spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on six hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than 11 strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Chalker saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kelsey Kren, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base. Kren is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
