Highline had lost six straight at home, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 4-12 to make it seven. They fell 6-3 to the Interlake Saints. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Saints this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 9-6 back in March.
Highline saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Zennin Luiz, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base.
As for Interlake, the victory (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 12-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games.
On Interlake's side, Sam Haufe was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs. Haufe is becoming a predictor of the Saints' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-6 when he doesn't). Brady Didrickson also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
