The four-single performance gives him 11 multi-hit games through 20 games, the most on the team. His .425 average is second among ASUN hitters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/cade-walter\/7051\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7051\" target=\"_blank\">Cade Walter<\/a> crossed the plate three times, while <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/archer-ogbourne\/8599\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8599\" target=\"_blank\">Archer Ogbourne<\/a> added three runs scored and the go-ahead double in the tenth. <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/logan-baratta\/8589\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8589\" target=\"_blank\">Logan Baratta<\/a> drove in a game-high three RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>The pitching staff came through in several tough spots throughout the day. <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/brendan-holland\/8600\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8600\" target=\"_blank\">Brendan Holland<\/a> started the day on the mound and finished with only two earned runs and six strikeouts, one shy of his season high. <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/austin-williamson\/8598\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8598\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Williamson<\/a> weathered the storm for Jacksonville, entering in the fifth and getting JU to the seventh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/ayden-phillips\/8604\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8604\" target=\"_blank\">Ayden Phillips<\/a> carried the Dolphins to extra innings, striking out four of the seven batters he faced.
