The team relied heavily on Logan Lucca, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. What's more, he posted three RBI, the most he's had since back in March. Another player making a difference was Zach Rachinsky, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Episcopal). They blew past Bullis 23-8 on Thursday. The Maroon not only won on Thursday, but they posted their biggest win since March 11, 2024.
Hill Hubbard was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, four RBI, and two doubles. The team also got some help courtesy of Charlie Wilhelm, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
