5/3/25 - Tritons Dominate Northern Arizona on Sun God
Due to Sun God happening on Saturday, our usual series format was altered so we only played our 9 inning game Saturday morning so our team could make it to the Sun God festival. The Tritons immediately put pressure on NAU, scoring 2 runs in the first inning on 2 doubles from Jaydee Denning and Ethan Neuner. To start the home half of the 2nd, the Tritons loaded the bases with a hit and 2 walks. Jaydee Denning, who started hitting leadoff due to his ability to get on base, decided to start being a power hitter and launched a ball over the left field fence to put the Tritons up 6-0. In the 6th, the Tritons added to their lead when JP Herd hit a 2 run bomb for his 6th on the year. In the Bottom of the 8th, Jaydee decided he wasn't done yet and hit a second home run to cap off the Tritons scoring. While the offense scored an impressive 9 runs, Finn Daecher's pitching performance may be the best of the season. Finn went through 7 innings only allowing 5 hits and tallying 11 strikeouts, doing so in only 93 total pitches. This game was how the Tritons knew they could play all season long and it was great to see everything finally coming together.
The Tritons were supposed to play a double header Sunday morning, but overnight rain compromised the field conditions and they were unable to play Sunday.
Jaydee Denning: 2 HR, 5 RBI, 2R
Finn Daecher: 7IP, 5H, 11K, 93 pitches
