Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Johns). Everything went their way against the Valley Pirates on Wednesday as they made off with a 20-2 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April of 2024. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, McKray Johnson was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3.

Mark Cox was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
