Marcellus waltzed into their matchup on Friday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They never let the Gobles Tigers get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Wildcats also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2024.
Jakob Huber was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 11 over six innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs.
In other batting news, Abram Coffey was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. He is on a roll when it comes to hits, as he's now got three or more in each of the last three games he's played. Cale Hackenberg was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Marcellus hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their strikeout total in four consecutive contests.
