It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Kenai Central had no problem doing just that on Friday. They put the hurt on the North Pole Patriots with a sharp 13-1 victory. The Kardinals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.
Everett Chamberlain made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacob Joanis, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Logan Mese was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.
The win (which was Kenai Central's third in a row) raised their record to 13-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games. As for North Pole, their loss dropped their record down to 5-7.
As of now, neither Kenai Central nor the Patriots have any future games scheduled.
