The Dunellen Destroyers are taking a road trip to take on the Princeton Day Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Dunellen is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.
Dunellen will roll into the match after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up two runs on Monday, then bounced right back against Somerset Tech on Tuesday.

Mark Stein made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. That's the most stolen bases he has posted over his last ten games.
Stein wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ryan Hutchins, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. Hutchins is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Another was Cole Mayer, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one RBI.
