Eddy Schroeder made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Oshkosh West is 2-1 when Schroeder posts two or more runs, but 1-2 otherwise. Cade Heiman also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

West Bend East's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Considering their hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.

On West Bend East's side, they got a massive performance out of Tyler Walsh, who went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those five RBI gave Walsh a new career-high. Hunter Herbst was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Oshkosh West didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, an 11-3 defeat against Fond du Lac on the 17th. West Bend East has also already played their next game (against Grafton), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
