Â
- Kendall Brookins made it aboard thrice, singling, doubling, and walking plus a ribbie.
Â
- Isreal Ramos did not start in right field, but he sure did finish strong, going 2-for-2 thanks to a two-bagger and a knock while crossing the dish once.
Â
- Gage Deutsch recorded a dozen outs in total for Pitching Coach Zak Rasener, half of those coming courtesy of the strikeout, keeping the JSU hitters off-balanced by allowing just a pair of runs.
Â
- Tom Early was the final student-athlete to reach over numerous plate appearances, working ball four twice on top of collecting an RBI via a groundout.
