For Douglass' part, Kayden Wilkins and Eric Guzman made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Wilkins struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Guzman pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those eight strikeouts gave Wilkins a new career-high. At the plate, Wilkins got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI, while Guzman went 1-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Guzman is on a roll when it comes to RBI, as he's now brought in three or more in each of the last three games he's played.

He has been hot, having posted two or more stolen bases the last six times he's played. Kingston Jones was another key player, earning four runs and two stolen bases.
