It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Midlothian had no problem doing just that on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 20-2 margin over the Chaparral Bobcats. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 16 matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Abby Insley tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
At the plate, Jocelyn Martinez was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, three doubles, and four RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Aniyah Givens, who went 2-for-3 with five RBI, three runs, and one triple.
Midlothian was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .433. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .375 or higher in five consecutive games.
Midlothian is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-8-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Chaparral, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-13.
Midlothian will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bobcats: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
