He has become a key player for Trinity Leadership: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 1-9-1 otherwise.
In other batting news, Jaden Fallesen was excellent, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more stolen bases the last four times he's played. Elijah Mar was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Village Tech). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Madison a 28-0 shutout on Friday. The win was nothing new for the Viper Squid as they're now sitting on three straight.

Trinity Leadership is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-9-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. As for Village Tech, their record is now 4-8.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Trinity Leadership has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 10.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Village Tech struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Trinity Leadership came out on top in a nail-biter against Village Tech in their previous meeting two weeks ago, sneaking past 12-11. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
