Palma proved they can win big last Thursday (they won by ten) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Hollister Haybalers 2-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Chieftains have posted since February 27th.
Kiersten Jara spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Palma saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brynn Baxter, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Palma is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Hollister, the loss snapped their winning streak at six games and leaves them with a 14-5 record.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Palma will take on rival Pacific Grove at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Hollister is set to challenge their familiar foe Monterey at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Haybalers 2.9, the Toreadors 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
