Hanover-Horton had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Homer on Friday. The Comets blew past the Trojans 16-4. With that victory, the Comets brought their scoring average up to 7.6 runs per game.

Luke Soper was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 11 batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Soper was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. That stolen base marked the first that he snagged this season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lukas NaDell, who scored four runs and stole seven bases while getting on base in five of his six plate appearances. Braylon Sayles was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-5.

Hanover-Horton was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .543. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher every time they've taken the field this season.

Hanover-Horton's win bumped their record up to 4-1.
