Meanwhile, Potempa pitched 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances. At the plate, Rodrigues scored four runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3, while Potempa scored three runs and stole six bases while going 3-for-4.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dawveed Holland, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen two or more in the last four games he's played.
Illinois Lutheran's win ended a six-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-13.
As of now, neither they nor Kingdom Prep Lutheran have any future games scheduled.
