Middleton extended their losing streak to seven on Monday, dropping them down to 1-8. They lost 18-2 to Halls. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 4, 2024, but that streak is no more.
As for Halls, their victory bumped their record up to 5-3. They have beaten Middleton the last nine times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest Middleton has come to flipping the script.
For Halls' part, Kaden Olds made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Olds is becoming a predictor of Halls' success: when he allows at most one hit the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Olds was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Landon Pipkin was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Coy Williams, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
While Middleton had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
