He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Callaham also tossed no walks, which is notable because Deer Park is 5-2 when he allows at most one walk, but 1-5 otherwise. Callaham was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.
In other batting news, Parker Hamilton and Ian Olietti did most of the damage at the plate: Hamilton went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Olietti went 4-for-5 with three runs, one triple, and one RBI.
