Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kettering). They skirted past the Walled Lake Northern Knights 12-10. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Captains considering their two-run performance the matchup before.

Kettering kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

Kettering's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-9. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games.
