Albany had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 27-run drubbing they dealt North Nodaway on Friday. The Warriors were the clear victors by a 27-0 margin over the Mustangs. That looming 27-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Warriors yet this season.
Barrett Worrell was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Albany is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 2-4 otherwise. Worrell was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-5.
