At the plate, South Iredell got a big performance out of Reid Johnson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those two doubles gave Johnson a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Dylan Hughesman, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
