He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and four unearned) runs off four hits.

In other batting news, Mason Simon was incredible, getting on base in all six of his plate appearances with five stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2025. James Chase also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mastery). They were the clear victors by a 10-4 margin over Salem County Vo-Tech on Monday.

Tuesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Medford Tech has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .511.
