Woodall went all four innings in a 10-0, four-inning mercy-rule victory over South Pasadena in the winner's bracket. The La Verne right-hander allowed just one hit and struck out four to advance La Verne to Tuesday night's championship game.
La Verne will play tonight's Azusa-South Pasadena winner at 7 on Tuesday and enjoys a much-needed day off to rest its pitching staff.
Woodall helped his cause at the plate with two hits and two runs, including a two-run shot in the third inning. It was his second home run in as many nights for a La Verne team that is 6-0 thus far in the playoffs.
"I handle pressure situations pretty well and felt good out there tonight," Woodall said. "I was able to spot my pitches well, especially after the first inning and our guys got a lot of clutch base hits and made plays behind me."
Woodall's pitch count wouldn't allow the La Verne ace to throw again until Wednesday night in the "if-necessary" game if they were to lose on Tuesday.
"I have no concerns at all about not being able to pitch until Wednesday, because we have a very deep pitching staff," Woodall said.
Craig Parker's second-inning double was the only offense South Pasadena could muster and it will have to forget this loss quickly, because it will play Azusa tonight at 7 in an
elimination game.The winner tonight would have to beat La Verne twice to advance to the Sub Divisional in Long Beach.
Joe LaFountain's three-run shot was his second of the tournament and he had two more hits on Sunday. In Saturday's 5-0 win over Azusa, LaFountain hit the first pitch of the game for a home run to set the tone.
"We did a much better job of getting the clutch hits with runners in scoring position tonight," La Verne manager Greg Peplin said. "Noah did a great job on the mound and our offense was definitely our strength as it's been."
Zach Howorth surrendered six runs on six hits in three-plus innings for South Pasadena. Beau Berry was on the mound when Woodall and Max Urrutia scored consecutive runs on wild pitches to end the game in less than 90 minutes.
Brock Johnson had a big game with a solo homer and a double and two runs for La Verne, while Andrew Castro had a two-RBI single in a four-run third inning.
Urrutia scored twice for La Verne in three at-bats.
