Tyler Buga was on fire this week, as he led Patriot with a .619 average with six RBIs. His
Oberlin team went 0-6.
This could be a critical week for
Firelands, which holds a 0.00-game lead over
Columbia for the league's top spot in the standings.
The Falcons's pitching staff dominated this week, allowing only 13 hits and five walks, both of which led the league. On the season, Firelands has allowed just 116 hits, while striking out 103 batters.
Jake Myers leads Firelands with 35 strikeouts in 24 innings.
The The Phoenix , the league leader in stolen bases this season with 150, added to their lead in that category with 18 more steals over the past week. Given the green light by manager Lynn Gray, Buga has racked up 30 steals on his own this season for Oberlin.
The The Phoenix 's Buga finished his week with 13 hits, tops in the league. He is first in the league with 34 hits this year, and has a .531 batting average.
