Brayden Steltz was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Owen Wilber, who went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two doubles. That's the most hits he has posted since back in May of 2025. Another player making a difference was Thomas Pierro, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Highland). They blew past Ellenville 18-0 last Wednesday. The Huskies might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.
Chatham's record now sits at 5-8. As for Highland, their record is now 7-4.
Chatham got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in May of 2025 against Highland by a conclusive 8-1 score. Do the Panthers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Huskies turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
