It's playoff time, and South Lake had no trouble coming through when it counted. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Wekiva Mustangs a 9-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Eagles have won nine matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

South Lake got a great performance from L Edwards as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts Edwards has posted since back in February.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on N Mclees, who scored two runs and stole four bases while going 3-for-3. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Z Siokis, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

South Lake now has a winning record of 13-12. As for Wekiva, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-18 record this season.

South Lake will square off against Lake Minneola at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Eagles 4.1, the Hawks 3.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. Wekiva does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
