Hunter Maddox made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. He also launched two home runs, which is notable because Indian Rocks Christian is undefeated when he posts at least one home run, but 6-7 otherwise.

In other pitching news, Mason Stout looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the first time he hasn't allowed a single hit since back in April of 2024.

Maddox wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cooper Ryan, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
