Another player making a difference was Alex Shilling, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, one stolen base, and one run.
Mott always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .595. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive contests.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Seaholm has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Mott struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Seaholm beat Mott 7-2 in their previous matchup back in May of 2025. Will the Maples repeat their success, or do the Corsairs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
