The team relied heavily on Luca Fronzaglio, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Terry Werner, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Howland hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in three consecutive matchups.

As for McKinley, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last ten contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-19 record this season. Their defeat continues a trend for the team, making it six in a row.

On McKinley's side, AJ Yost was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Yost is becoming a predictor of the Red Dragons' success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 2-1 (and 4-18 when he doesn't). Gavin D'Errico was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
