He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Firth got a massive performance out of Darrell Vasquez, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Vasquez is becoming a predictor of the Cougars' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Kamdon Bott, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
