Jackson Dawkins was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. He is becoming a predictor of Caledonia's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Garrett Holloman was excellent, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 1-for-2. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (three). Ethan Barclay also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Caledonia hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in four consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Amory challenged Hatley on Friday. Amory put the hurt on Hatley with a sharp 9-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.

Caledonia might still be hurting after the 10-4 loss they got from Amory in their previous matchup on March 1st. Can Caledonia avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
