That home run was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacob Morris, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season. Gavin Neal was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles.
New Palestine's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games. As for Greenfield-Central, they now have a winning record of 6-5.
Greenfield-Central might still be hurting after the 6-0 loss they got from New Palestine in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Will the Cougars have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
