Jack Reed made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kia Tipton, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Tipton is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Tony Damici also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Battle Mountain always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, neither Summit nor Conifer could gain the upper hand on Monday so the two teams had to settle for a 14-14 tie.
Battle Mountain's record now sits at 3-1-1. Summit's tie makes their record 4-3-1 this season.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Battle Mountain has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Summit struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.9 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Battle Mountain might still be hurting after the 13-1 defeat they got from Summit in their previous matchup back in April of 2025. Can the Husky avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
