As for Mossyrock, the win got them back to even at 9-9. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.
For Mossyrock's part, Easton Kolb was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 13 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk).

He was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 2-for-3. He has become a key player for Mossyrock: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 5-9 otherwise.

That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March. Gunnar Callies was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Looking ahead, Morton/White Pass will head out to take on Highland at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Scots have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.5 runs per game on average), something the Timberwolves will no doubt try to take advantage of. Mossyrock does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
