On the hitting side, Aiden Starr was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run. He has become a key player for Brooklyn: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two stolen bases, but 1-10 otherwise. Phil Banaszak also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

As for Cuyahoga Heights, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games.

On Cuyahoga Heights' side, Brooklyn's batters probably weren't too happy with Nathan Tommer, who pitched a no hitter and racked up seven Ks (he gave up a single walk).

At the plate, Cuyahoga Heights' win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was MacGowan Rott, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
