It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Stevens had no problem doing just that on Friday. Everything went their way against the Mitchell Kernels as they made off with a 14-3 victory. The Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matches by six runs or more this season.
Ian Beer made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season.
In other batting news, Mason Brooks was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Austin Flohr was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
Stevens lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Stevens has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Mitchell, their defeat was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-2.
