Denbigh got a big performance out of Liam Blazek, who scored a run and stole three bases while going 1-for-3. Blazek is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season. C Valentine was another key player, scoring three runs while going 1-for-3.
Denbigh always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .525. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Heritage only posted an OBP of .318.
