Aiden Hatter spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits and racked up ten Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Western Brown is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-6 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Carter Saylor and Montana Wells did most of the damage at the plate: Saylor went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI, while Wells went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave Wells a new career-high. Zander Hamilton also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eastern).
