Bentley Grubbs ('28, IN) gets into one here. Sees the pitch early and gets barrel thru. Simple, strong load into a tight turn. Barrel levels to handle this pitch letter high. Launches this for a 2B down the line. #MidwestClassic#PGCrossroads
Jed Ferguson ('28, IN) strong, controlled load w/ early pitch recognition. Jumps out in front of this pitch and drives this out for an RBI 2B. #MidwestClassic#PGCrossroads
Maverick Locke ('28, IN) creates good tension in load. Turns on this w/ good barrel. Fires off a 2B down the line that plates a R. #MidwestClassic#PGCrossroads
Another great day playing with @2028Franchise in the MPL League. I went 4-4 at the plate with two doubles, two singles, and collected 6 RBIs, to help the team to a 15-2 win over GRB Rays MSN Green.
On to play next week in the PBR Nationals.
