The Ganado Maidens dominated Three Rivers in the second round of the playoffs with a 16-0 win. The Maidens scored early and often for the five inning win.
Ganado couldn’t be much better as they haven’t allowed a run through four playoff games. In fact, district foe Shiner scored two runs on the Maidens on April 7 and those are the only two runs Ganado has allowed in their last 11 games.
At the plate, the Maidens continued their dominance. Paisley Hajovsky and Raelynn Pena homered as the Maidens picked up 10 hits in the run-rule shortened game.
Ganado (28-2-1) and Danbury (25-6-1) will face off in the Regional Semi-Final round.
The Industrial Cobras playoff series started on a great note as Industrial survived a scare by Jourdanton, holding on for a 6-5 win. However, Jourdanton took the next two games, 5-2, and 2-1 and left as the series winners.
In game one, Jourdanton loaded the bases in their final at-bat, but the Cobras were able to hang on for the win. The rally Jourdanton put on showed a glimpse of how close the rest of the series would be.
In game two, Jourdanton put up a run and Industrial tied it up in the third. Jourdanton had a 5-1 lead by the sixth and the Cobras were only able to add one run. Ava Collins and Kayla Osburn picked up a triple in the game, the two Cobra extra base hits in the game.
Game three was a tense pitcher’s duel throughout. Jourdanton put up both of their runs in the fourth inning. The Cobras put up their lone run in the fifth. Clancy Kolle led the way in game three with a triple and a double. Kaylee Honc also picked up a triple in the game.
In the circle, Collins pitched all twenty innings, and picked up 23 strikeouts.
