St. Henry extended their losing streak to three on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 11-9 in the process. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-1 heartbreaker at the hands of the Celina Bulldogs. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Redskins have suffered since April 17th.
As for Celina, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 13 contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games.
For Celina's part, Braylon Steinbrunner spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits. Steinbrunner also tossed no walks, which is notable because the Bulldogs are 6-2 when he allows at most two walks, but 7-8 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Celina's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Brodee Schulte-Arnold, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run. Schulte-Arnold is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Logan Sapp also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
