Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kiefer). Everything went their way against the Maud Tigers on Thursday as they made off with a 19-1 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Daxton Smith was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Kiefer's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't). Landon Ruggieri was another key player, going 3-for-4 with five RBI.
