Brock Budacki and Carter Jackson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Budacki tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Jackson struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2024. At the plate, Budacki scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Jackson went 1-for-2 with two runs and one triple. That triple marked the first that Jackson hit this season.
In other batting news, Jaxson Zahn was incredible, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (three). Aiden Circle also deserves some recognition as he scored his first runs of the season.
New Brighton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .645. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
