It's playoff time, and Homewood had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Jackson-Olin Mustangs a 21-0 shutout on Monday. The Patriots might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by nine runs or more this season.
Grace Pilgrim looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ava Robinson, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Peighton Letson, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI.
Homewood pushed their record up to 16-13-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Jackson-Olin, they are on a 26-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-10.
As of now, neither Homewood nor the Mustangs have any future games scheduled.
