It may have taken ten innings to finish the job, but Polytechnic ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 win over the Mayfield Cubs. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Panthers have posted against the Cubs since April 2, 2019.
Amelia Shih spent all ten innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on six hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Eila Chan was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Kate Asperger, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-5.
Chan wasn't the only one making solid contact: Polytechnic kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matches.
Polytechnic has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Mayfield, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-7-2.
