Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three runs and one double.

Seiler is becoming a predictor of Maryville Christian's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 9-1 (and 8-9 when he doesn't). Mattox Smith was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
