It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Millbrook had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Heritage Huskies as they made off with an 8-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won nine games by six runs or more so far this season.

Connor Wright was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

Wright wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Smith Dickinson, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Hayden Heath was another, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one double.

Millbrook is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Heritage, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-13.

Coming up, Millbrook will challenge Laney on Friday. The Buccaneers will roll in looking for their 17th straight win, something the Wildcats surely won't give up without a fight. Heritage does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
