TOP PERFORMERS
A sixth-round pick out of George Mason in 2024, Eaton became the first Indians starter to complete seven full frames this season. The southpaw held the Dust Devils to just one run on five hits while striking out six to lower his ERA to 3.35-tied for the fifth-best mark in the NWL among qualified pitchers.
Longwell regained the team lead with his seventh home run of the season-a two-run shot just to the left of the Coors Field Caboose in the bottom of the fifth. The former Kent State standout now ranks third in the NWL in home runs (7), second in RBI (32), and fourth in slugging (.484).
Charlie Condon picked up a pair of hits for the second straight night including a two-run double in the fifth while Braylen Wimmer and Cole Messina each had two hits in the win.
