With a playoff win on the line, O'Connor rose to the challenge on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Churchill Chargers a 7-0 shutout. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 19 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Faith Mayfield, who gave up just two hits and racked up nine Ks to keep Churchill off the board. Mayfield has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Ella De Luna was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Charlotte Briscoe was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
The victory (which was O'Connor's 17th in a row) raised their record to 25-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Churchill, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 16-14-1.
O'Connor will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Chargers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
