After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Memphis Central, Overton was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They blew past the Kingsbury Falcons 15-4. The result was nothing new for the Wolverines, who have now won seven matchups by nine runs or more so far this season.

Daiquan Dixon made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Overton got a massive performance out of Marquel Brooks, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Brooks is becoming a predictor of the Wolverines' success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 3-4-1 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Nehemiah Diggs, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2.

Overton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .692. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kingsbury only posted an OBP of .458.

Overton is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Kingsbury, they now have a losing record of 6-7.
