He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double.

Jacob Lang and Turner Marlowe stepped up to the plate in a big way. Lang went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI, while Marlowe went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Trey Fondren, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run.

Bellevue East's defeat dropped their record down to 9-9. As for Bryan, their loss dropped their record down to 5-10.

Bryan's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Bellevue East hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .322. It's a different story for Bryan, though, as they've only averaged .249. Will they be able to contain Bellevue East's hitters?

Everything went Bellevue East's way against Bryan in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, as Bellevue East made off with a 13-1 victory. Will the Chieftains repeat their success, or do the Bears have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
