For Columbia's part, Kai Brasuell made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 11 batters over 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit (and not a single walk). Brasuell is becoming a predictor of Columbia's success: when he allows at most one hit the team is 2-1 (and 5-10 when he doesn't). Brasuell was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and five RBI. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaden Wang, who went 3-for-5 with four runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Kellen Olson was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
While Stevenson had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
