It's playoff time, and Swett had no trouble coming through when it counted. They came out on top against the Point Arena Pirates on Saturday by a score of 7-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). Considering the Warriors have won eight games by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Adan Miranda and Michael Golden were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Miranda tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Golden kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Swett is 9-0-2 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 4-6 otherwise. At bat, Miranda went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Golden got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Golden is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jayden Barker, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI. Another player making a difference was James Gibson, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Swett hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Point Arena struck out 11 times.

Swett's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-6-2. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Point Arena, their loss dropped their record down to 11-6.

As of now, neither Swett nor the Pirates have any future games scheduled.
