It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Palo Verde had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over the Bishop Gorman Gaels. This was a revenge game for the Panthers: when they faced off against the Gaels back in March, they had to take a 10-2 loss.
Tanner Johns spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Palo Verde's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Luke Herrera, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Palo Verde has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-9 record this season. As for Bishop Gorman, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 19-14 record this season.
Palo Verde will face off against Las Vegas at 1:30 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Bishop Gorman does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
