Genesee saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Noah Bollman, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two stolen bases. Bollman is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season.

Payton Christensen made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single hit and allowing only one earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. Christensen was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.

Troy's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Genesee hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .314. It's a different story for Troy, though, as they've only averaged .232. Will they be able to contain Genesee's hitters?
