Kouts had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.5 runs), and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They came out on top against the Knox Redskins by a score of 9-5. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Kouts also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2023.
Owen Garavalia made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Garavalia was also big at the plate, going 2-for-2 with three RBI and a double.
In other batting news, Noah Gudeman and Jesse Overholt did most of the damage at the plate: Gudeman went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and three RBI, while Overholt scored two runs while going 3-for-4. Cooper Whitaker was another key contributor, going 2-for-4 with two doubles.
Like Kouts, Knox also got a great game from a two-way player: Raymond Boyd. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits (he also only allowed one walk). Boyd was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Boyd wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Justin Downs, who scored a run while going 1-for-1.
Kouts' win bumped their record up to 3-0.
