The Beetdiggers haven't had any issues with the Indians recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.
Ben Mettlen was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. He is becoming a predictor of Brush's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is undefeated (and 5-6 when he doesn't). Mettlen was also solid in the batter's box, getting three hits from his three at bats.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Trae Romero, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Landon Mesch was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
