He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.

Kohler was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Kohler is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for Sevastopol, they dropped their record down to 0-7 with the defeat, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season.

Kohler wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, a 10-0 victory against Ozaukee on the 12th. As for Sevastopol, they will square off against Algoma at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wolves' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Pioneers' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
