That's the most RBI Braun has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Kameron Braun, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one double.

Manitowoc Lincoln pushed their record up to 15-1 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.9 runs over those games. As for Plymouth, they moved to 7-7 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Manitowoc Lincoln will head out to square off against Bay Port at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Ships 2.1, the Pirates 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Plymouth, they will take on Oostburg at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
