Dundee is 2-1 when Turner allows one or fewer hits, but 5-9 otherwise. Turner was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one RBI.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tecumseh). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Ypsilanti a 15-0 shutout on Monday. The Indians' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last five matchups.
Like Dundee, Tecumseh also got a great game from a two-way player: Palmer Ziemer. He tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.

He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.

Tecumseh always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .720. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Tecumseh's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-8-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Dundee, their victory bumped their record up to 7-10.
