Decatur waltzed into their match on Tuesday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They never let the Bridgeport Bulls get on the board and left with a 14-0 win. The Eagles have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bulls, too.
Raymundo Contreras made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases. He is becoming a predictor of Decatur's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 10-13-1 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brody Kelley, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. He has become a key player for Decatur: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 10-13-1 otherwise. Cooper House was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
