The Reds scored two more runs in the fourth and five in the sixth as they rolled to a slaughter-rule victory. 

“It is up to them. We've got to defend. Everyone is coming after us. We know what we've got to do, so we just got to get that mindset and believe in ourselves,” Coach Sherfey said about heading into the playoffs on Sunday.
