It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Ponce De Leon can now relate to. They fell 7-2 to the Chipley Tigers on Tuesday. The Pirates' defeat continues a trend for the squad, making it three in a row.
Kiyann Alford was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she pitched six innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off eight hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Alford wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Clara Martin, who went 2-for-4 with two runs. C Stapp also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Ponce De Leon's loss dropped their record down to 7-13. As for Chipley, they are on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 15 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season.
