Gladstone extended their losing streak to three on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 5-6 in the process. They fell 8-3 to the Kingsford Flivvers. The Braves were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Flivvers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
As for Kingsford, the win (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games.
For Kingsford's part, Garrett Brown was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over 4.1 innings pitched. Brown has been consistent: he hasn't given up a single earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
Brown wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nolan Hendrickson, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. Kingsford is undefeated when Hendrickson posts two or more runs, but 3-5 otherwise. Another was Jack Kriegl, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Kingsford beat Gladstone by a score of 8-3 later that day.
