It's playoff time, and Aztec had no trouble coming through when it counted. Everything went their way against the Goddard Rockets on Saturday as they made off with a 14-3 win. Considering the Tigers have won 15 matches by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Kamora Henry made a splash while hitting and pitching. She pitched five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.

In other batting news, Reagan Bradshaw was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Christina Whitehorse was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

Aztec always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Goddard only posted an OBP of .400.

Aztec has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-11 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Goddard, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-13 record this season.

Aztec and Goddard are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Tigers will face off against Silver at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. The Fighting Colts will roll in looking for their 12th straight win, something Aztec surely won't give up without a fight. As for Goddard, they will challenge St. Pius X at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday. The Sartans have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.93 runs per game on average), something the Rockets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
