Stutz hit his, and the team's, first grand slam of the season. Later in the week, the Redhawks found themselves down by one to the Giants of Keystone College as they headed into the bottom of the ninth inning. Stutz hit a line drive single that drove in two runs, giving him a walk off single, and La Roche a 15-13 win. For the week, the catcher collected six hits and 15 RBIs. He recorded a slugging percentage of 1.071, as he was also successful with 20 putouts, two assists and 1.000 fielding percentage.
