It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Destiny Christian Academy had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Nevada Union Miners a 12-0 shutout. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by nine runs or more this season.
Nevada Union's batters probably weren't too happy with Ayla Tuua, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 14 Ks (she gave up zero walks). Tuua has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two hits in 16 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Roxanne Sardo, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Savanna Newman, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
The win was the ninth in a row for Destiny Christian Academy, bringing their record up to 20-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for Nevada Union, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-20-1.
Coming up, Destiny Christian Academy will square off against Rio Linda at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lions' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Knights have averaged an impressive 8.4 runs per game this season. Nevada Union does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
