Jayce Tharnish re‑entered the Y‑D lineup on Tuesday night, stepping into the outfield for a matchup against Brewster.
He went 1‑for‑3 with a walk and an RBI that scored Phoenix Call, the only run of the game, while also posting a .315 batting average and a .339 on‑base percentage for the season.
The highlight came in the sixth inning when Tharnish sprinted to right‑center and made a diving catch that robbed Will Baker of a hit, a play he executed after a quick exchange with Phoenix Call.
Aiming for Consistency
Tharnish, who opened the season with a .091 average in his first 11 at‑bats, said he is now focusing on hitting up the middle of the plate to keep his swing hot and turn his brief outbreak into a steady contribution.
A University of Kentucky alumnus, Tharnish’s development has been shaped by stints at UCLA and Georgia Tech, programs that have honed his approach at the plate.
Looking ahead, he plans to keep refining his technique, hoping the recent performance will translate into a reliable presence in the lineup.
