Baseball Recap: Make It Four in a Row for Briggs

Briggs waltzed into their matchup on Monday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They blew past the West Cowboys 11-1. The Bruins have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Cowboys, too.

Jaxon Mitskevich made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances. Briggs is undefeated when Mitskevich posts two or more runs, but 1-2 otherwise.

Marcus Rodgers was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.

Briggs pushed their record up to 6-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for West, they are on a four-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.

Looking ahead, Briggs will take on South at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.25 runs per game on average), something the Bruins will no doubt try to take advantage of. West will be paying especially close attention to Briggs' game: after Briggs faces off against Columbus International, they'll take on West again at 1:00 p.m. on the 25th.
