Tyrese Jenkins was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Mark Washington, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Chapel Hill was able to grind out a solid victory over New Manchester on Wednesday, taking the game 7-3.
The team relied heavily on Mykah Pelzer, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. Another player making a difference was Phillip Ackerman, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
Chapel Hill is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games. Forest Park's record now sits at 4-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Forest Park has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 8.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Chapel Hill struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
