No. 2 Villa Park vs Hart
Villa Park was upset by Hart by a score of 4-3 after Hart held Villa Park to no runs after gaining a one-run lead in the third inning.
‘23 LHP Chris Downs (Cal Poly SLO) dominated on the mound, striking out five while only allowing one hit in 2.2 innings of relief duty. The southpaw mixed fastballs and sliders keeping hitters off balance while his team clung to a one run lead late in the game.
In defeat Villa Park still put up a decent fight with ‘23 C Nathan Pone (Uncommitted) driving in two runs on a 2-3 day at the plate.
‘24 SS Brayden Jeffries provided crucial hitting that contributed to the upset win over Villa Park. The uncommitted shortstop has opened eyes early with his stellar defensive play and his “hitability” at the plate from the left side. One of the premier uncommitted players in his area.
