Jercorion Wesley made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and seven unearned) runs off two hits. Wesley was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.

He has been hot recently, having also posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. Daiquan Dixon was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three RBI.
Whitehaven's record is now 9-4. As for Overton, their record now sits at 14-8-1.
Whitehaven got the 'W' when the teams last played back in March against Overton by a conclusive 18-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
