It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Simi Valley had no problem doing just that on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Ventura Cougars a 3-0 shutout. The Pioneers are really starting to get used to good results now that the team has won 15 straight.
Not much got past Kyle Casey, who gave up just seven hits to keep Ventura off the board. Casey has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jaxon Herron, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Simi Valley's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 23-5. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Ventura, with the defeat, they broke their ten-game winning streak and moved their record to 21-7-1.
Looking ahead, Simi Valley will face off against Mater Dei at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Pioneers 2.2, the Monarchs 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Ventura does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
