Keil Almroth made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Woodmore is 6-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 8-9 otherwise. Almroth was also big at the plate, earning three RBI and one run. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
