The uncommitted middle-infielder had a busy afternoon last Friday against Brother Martin, as he eneded up making five 6-3 putouts on the afternoon. His biggest play came with two outs and the bases loaded in the first inning, as he made stellar diving play in the 6-hole to end the Crusaders threat, which proved to be big in the end, as Dunham ended up clinging on for the 2-0 win. Offensively, there wasn't a whole lot of hitting in the game, as each team combined for a total of five hits, but Nikolaus did come through with a big sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 6th inning to push the Tigers lead to 2-0.
