Wise was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI.

In other batting news, Braden Waring was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Eli Feld, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

Mount Dora Christian Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .550 or higher in four consecutive matches.
