Prout was handed an eight-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Monday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Johnston Panthers 2-0. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Crusaders also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2025.
Not much got past Cam Randall, who gave up just four hits and racked up nine Ks to keep Johnston off the board.
At the plate, Prout's win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Dylan Coutu, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI. Those two RBI gave Coutu a new career-high. Joe Hennings also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
