Triton was handed a nine-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Saturday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Lewis Cass Kings 5-4. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Trojans also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2025.
Braxton Kaufman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on ten hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Max Johnson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
