Ethan Thomas was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Colton Cook, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in February of 2025. Another player making a difference was Ryder Hodgkinson, who went 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.
Niceville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .531. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive contests.
