Joha Hultman was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Hultman was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.

Kendrick's win bumped their record up to 15-2. As for Potlatch, their victory bumped their record up to an identical 15-2.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Potlatch has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 9.5 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Kendrick struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Potlatch got the 'W' when the teams last played on April 7th against Kendrick by a conclusive 13-2 score. Do the Loggers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Tigers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
