Briggs extended their winning streak to seven on Wednesday, bumping their season record up to 9-2 in the process. They put the hurt on the Columbus Torah Academy Lions with a sharp 9-1 victory. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Wyatt Martin and Jaxon Mitskevich made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Martin pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Mitskevich didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. At bat, Martin got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI, while Mitskevich got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Mitskevich is becoming a predictor of Briggs' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Cameron Griffith was incredible, going 1-for-3 with five stolen bases, two runs, and one double. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.

As for Columbus Torah Academy, they now have a losing record of 1-2. Having soared to a lofty 18 runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

On Columbus Torah Academy's side, David Buren made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 4-for-4 with one run.

Meanwhile, Columbus Torah Academy will look to extend Hillel Academy's three-game losing streak when they meet at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.
