After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Franklin, Mansfield was happy to have turned things around on Monday. They never let the Stoughton Black Knights get on the board and left with an 11-0 win. The high-scoring effort was just what the Hornets needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
Holden Kresge tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ethan Kucharski, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. He 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. Luke Rogan was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
Mansfield hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in ten consecutive matches.
