While Poth put up some runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Mathis. Poth was the clear victor by a 10-0 margin over Mathis. This was payback for Poth, who suffered a 9-1 loss the last time these two teams met.
The result came thanks to Jacob Clark's shutout, as he gave up just a hit.
At the plate, Poth's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Major Luna, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Luna has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Another was Blaise Alexander, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one triple.
Poth always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .571. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Mathis only posted an OBP of .200.
