At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jay Wittrock, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Tyson Edwins also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Freedom kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Mt. Eden only managed six.
