The bats continued to produce for the Humboldt Crabs this week, as they comfortably swept a two-game midweek series against the Fresno A’s at the Arcata Ball Park.

The Crabs won 7-0 on Tuesday night and followed that with a 16-7 win on Wednesday.

With the two victories, the Crabs maintained their unbeaten start to the season and improved to 9-0.

Jason Arriola also had a double in the win, while Kawana Soares drove in two runs.

Arcata’s Ben Lukens got the start on the mound and threw 5.1 strong innings for the win.

The 2025 Arcata High graduate gave up four hits and no walks and struck out seven.

The Crabs continued to roll on Wednesday night, overcoming a pair of early one-run deficits with six runs in the bottom of the second inning, and they led the remainder of the way.

Alex Harrington had a huge day at the plate in the lead-off spot, finishing 4-for-5 with two doubles, a walk, three RBIs and two runs.

Osborne continued to have a hot bat, finishing 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBIs.

McKinleyville’s Jackson Kelly threw three innings in relief, allowing two earned runs on five hits and no walks and striking out three.
