Aiden Guy made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed five innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. He has become a key player for Forest: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 3-11 otherwise.

The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.
