Eli Kraft posted a new career-high in stolen bases on Friday. He scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He is becoming a predictor of Hickory's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-5 when he doesn't).

Looking ahead, Kraft and Hickory will challenge Lakeland at 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The last time Kraft duked it out with the Cavaliers (back in April of 2024), the Hawks came out on top by a score of 9-1. Will another strong game from Kraft be enough to do it again?
