Duchesne not only won on Saturday, but they posted their biggest win since April 8th (when they won 20-2). They were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Forsyth Panthers. The Pioneers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Rudy Weber spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Duchesne let Luke Fink and Jaiden Wurth run wild. Fink went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI, while Wurth went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits Fink has posted since back in May of 2024. Cayden Wolfe was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Duchesne was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .433. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

The victory made it two in a row for Duchesne and bumps their season record up to 17-7. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Forsyth, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 9-5.

Coincidentally, Duchesne and Forsyth will both be playing Logan-Rogersville the next time they take the field. The Pioneers will host the Wildcats at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, while the Panthers will play them later in the day, at 2:00 p.m.
