Jahzyon Sylva made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Payette is 5-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 7-8 otherwise. Sylva was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jake Penfold, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Payette's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-9 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Jaxon Rodriguez, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Payette always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
