Isaac Marshall was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged two or more in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was Kellin Campbell, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run.

As for Briggs, the win (which was their 11th in a row) raised their record to 13-2. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.7 runs over those games.

On Briggs' side, Wyatt Martin made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Martin was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Martin wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cameron Griffith, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. Francis Mateo also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Looking ahead, South will be playing in front of their home fans against Madison Christian at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Briggs, they will head out to face off against Eastmoor Academy at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Warriors' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Bruins' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
