Kermit proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by nine) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Alpine Bucks 6-5. This was a revenge game for the Yellow Jackets: when they faced off against the Bucks on April 4th, they had to take a 3-1 defeat.
Kermit's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Zakry Salais, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run. Salais is becoming a predictor of the Yellow Jackets' success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 6-9 when he doesn't). Another was Sergio Quiroz, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.
