Key Plays and Players

Designated hitter Web Barnes emerged as a pivotal player during the game, significantly impacting the team’s performance with his bat. Florence’s starting pitcher, Colby Richardson, initially struggled but found his rhythm after the challenging start, allowing the team to recover.
