It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Bensalem ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Harry S. Truman Tigers 7-6. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Fighting Owls have posted since May 9, 2024.
Hayden Sorrensen looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Mikey Kramer, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Tommy Jackson also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
