Pine City and Braham are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2018, but likely not for long. The Dragons are taking a road trip to square off against the Bombers at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Pine City is coming into the game hot, having won their last four games.
On Thursday, Pine City got the win against Rush City by a conclusive 9-1. Considering the Dragons have won four contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Ezrah Barth spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up 14 Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Asa Schwarzbauer and Ethan Aagaard did most of the damage at the plate: Schwarzbauer got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Aagaard went 2-for-4 with one home run. Those two stolen bases gave Schwarzbauer a new career-high. Jaxon Karas also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
