Highland extended their winning streak to six on Monday, bumping their season record up to 8-5 in the process. They walked away with a 13-8 victory over the Bath County Chargers. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Rams also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Zach Armstrong made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Armstrong was even better at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Highland's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't).
