HURON -- Mitchell Black snapped a six-game losing skid by taking both games of a twin bill against Huron on Monday in teener baseball action.
In Game 1, Mitchell was able to hold on for a 4-3 win and then put forth its best offensive performance of the season in an 18-8 Game 2 win.
Mitchell Black scored three runs in the third inning, but an RBI single in the fifth by Carter Miller proved to be the difference in the Game 1 win.
Huron scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth and had two runners on base in the bottom of the sixth before Dylan Soulek recorded a pop fly to end the game.
Miller finished the game 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, while Lukas Bennett was 2-for-3 and drove in a run.

Soulek was a perfect 3-for-3, driving in four runs and scoring three runs, while Carson Podhrasky drove in three runs on a 2-for-3 day at the plate. Miller also went 3-for-3 and added a pair of RBIs. Noah Larson and Tanner Puetz added two hits, two RBIs and two runs apiece.
