The Del Val bats got hot to start the game, and they would not stop as they would put up 14 runs over the course of 6 innings.

One of the more significant plays of the night when sophomore Cooper Fransen hit a bases-clearing double with two outs to drive in 3 runs for the Terriers. Fransen also walked in the game and had a stolen base.

Some honorable mentions would be senior Jared Leeds who went 2-5 with 3 runs batted in, a double and a score. Senior Keith Polin went 1-3 in the game with a double, run batted in and 2 scores.

Junior Jack Hancsin came back out in the 7th to close the game out and give the Terriers a big win in front of the Dawg Pound on a Friday night. His final line for the night was 5 innings, 9 strike outs, no walks and 3 earned runs.

“[It] felt good to help the team to a big win on senior night,” Hancsin said.

The seniors gave it their all in this game, and it was proved by the win.

Senior Jack Reardon would get the game MVP, an award that Coach White gives out after every game. Reardon would go 3-4 at the plate with 2 RBIs, a walk and a run.

Reardon described “the huddle after the game, and the atmosphere the team brought” as his favorite parts of the night.
