Tristan Super made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Taconic Hills is undefeated when Super posts two or more runs, but 1-3 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Francis Conners-Schmid, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits he has posted since back in May of 2024. Tyler Mulrein was another key player, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Taconic Hills kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cairo-Durham only managed five hits.
Meanwhile, Germantown was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of Hudson. That's two games in a row now that the Clippers have lost by exactly five runs.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Taconic Hills has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Germantown struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.2 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Taconic Hills took their victory against Germantown in their previous meeting back in April by a conclusive 16-0 score. Will the Titans repeat their success, or do the Clippers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
