Simeon got a massive performance out of Aiden Pondexter, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, two RBI, and one double. Pondexter is becoming a predictor of the Wolverines' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 5-0-1 (and 5-9 when he doesn't). Daniel Jones Jr was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs and one RBI.
Simeon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .389. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .367 or higher in three consecutive games.
Simeon pushed their record up to 10-9-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.5 runs over those games. As for Jones, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-13 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Simeon has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Jones struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
