On the hitting side, Blake Buehner was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. He has become a key player for West Jessamine: the team is undefeated when he posts at least one home run, but 8-24 otherwise.

Male's speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's game. The Bulldogs have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for West Jessamine, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Male continue to outrun the ball?
Male beat West Jessamine 5-1 in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. Will the Bulldogs repeat their success, or do the Colts have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
