Brody Roberts was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two RBI.
Roberts wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jon Parker Dees, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Dees is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games he's played. Wrigley Richardson was another, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.
Manchester Academy's defeat was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 6-1 and their overall record down to 25-7. As for Washington, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-4 record this season.
