Baseball Recap: LaBrae Victorious

LaBrae came out on top against Southeast on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run fourth inning. The Vikings took their match against the Pirates 7-3.

Landon Brunstetter made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024.
