Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Weed). They were the clear victors by a 26-2 margin over the Trinity Wolves on Friday. The victory continues a trend for the Cougars in their matchups with the Wolves: they've now won three in a row.

Jett Marshall made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Weed is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 5-8 otherwise. Marshall was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his six plate appearances with four runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Braeden Cordes and Jackson Keen did most of the damage at the plate: Cordes went 1-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and four RBI, while Keen went 3-for-5 with four runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Cordes is becoming a predictor of Weed's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-1 (and 1-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Conner Hosino, who went 4-for-6 with three RBI and two runs.

Weed always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

Weed's record is now 8-9. As for Trinity, their loss was their fifth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 3-13.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Weed beat the Wolves by a score of 17-5 later that day.
