Mike Peck has already had some gritty performances this season, and Karlis has been lights-out in both of his appearances.

(Honey) wasn't spectacular, but he earned his first varsity win.

Psychologically, to go out for the top of the third inning with a seven-run lead and having Mike Peck on the mound, that was huge.

That first win against Kelso was a huge confidence builder. To win in that stadium against that program, a program we have a ton of respect for, it got us going all season long.

He definitely announced their return to dominance. He's their guy and he showed why. We didn't play poorly, we just got beat.

He just competes. There are guys in this league with better stuff and more experience, but Mike Peck just battles. He has been good enough to put us in first place.
