Beau Collier made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in February. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Zachary Campbell, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 1-for-3. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Ryer White was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.
LaBelle always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .567. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
LaBelle is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.1 runs over those games. The win got Southeastern Prep Academy back to even at 1-1.
