The team relied heavily on Noah Lucko, who went 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

Another player making a difference was Wyatt Clark, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Everett). Everything went their way against Forbes Road on Tuesday as they made off with an 18-7 victory. Winning may never get old, but the Warriors sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.

Spencer Shaw was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases and three runs. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Jackson Dinnocenti also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Everett was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .571. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Everett's record is now 12-2. As for Tussey Mountain, they now have a winning record of 9-8.

Tussey Mountain beat Everett 6-3 when the teams last played back in May of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Titans since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
