Brandon Rouse made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. Rouse was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and one double. He is becoming a predictor of Genesee's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Joey Abbe, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Abbe is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least two every time he's taken the field this season. Logan Ball also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
