Another was Juden Jones, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Meanwhile, Decatur put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their undefeated season alive. They blew past Peninsula 10-3. Ten seems to be a good number for the Golden Gators as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Decatur's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-0-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Enumclaw, their record now sits at 11-2.
Enumclaw took their victory against Decatur in their previous meeting back in April of 2019 by a conclusive 11-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
