Haskell barely beat Warner the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Haskell blew past Warner 16-8 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Haymakers, who have now won six contests by eight runs or more so far this season.

Brady Neal was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off five hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Haskell is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-4 otherwise. Neal was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaxon Drain, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Elias Gonzales, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.

Haskell kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

The victory made it two in a row for Haskell and bumps their season record up to 6-5. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to hits: they averaged an imposing 9.5 hits in those games compared to only 4.56 in the others. As for Warner, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-6-1.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Haskell will challenge Summit Christian Academy at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. As for Warner, they will face off against Eufaula at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Warner is facing Eufaula at the right time seeing as Eufaula is stuck on a three-game losing streak.
