Nolan Engle was excellent, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. Nick Griffin was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Brighton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northglenn only posted an OBP of .278.
Meanwhile, Prairie View waltzed into their game on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They were the clear victors by a 15-4 margin over the Panthers. The Thunderhawks' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Jerry Stone made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. Stone was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.

Prairie View pushed their record up to 10-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Brighton, their win bumped their record up to 7-4.

However, it's not like Prairie View struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
