Adyn Hough made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over four innings pitched. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in 12 consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
In other batting news, Case Nelson was a standout: he went a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Johnathan Vasquez was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.
