Nicholas Melnick Jr. (‘27, IN) added a knock here. Hard turn with rotational move thru it. Able to impact this one and drive it hard thru the LS to pick up a base knock. Handled the bat well here. @PG_OhioValley @PG_Uncommitted #PGKernels

Andrew Long (‘26, IN) added an XBH here. Handled the barrel well and was able to drive the ball well for a double. Loose stroke. Lean frame with some athleticism. Hit well today. @PG_OhioValley @PG_Uncommitted #PGKernels

Nicholas Melnick Jr. (‘27, IN) added a double here. Turns thru it and connects out in front to drive this one working PS. Some lift & loft here gets the job done. Added the XBH here on this swing. @PG_OhioValley @PG_Uncommitted #PGKernels

Some great performances today by the 5 Star Chiefs Mafia 2026 Scout wins their pool at the PG WWBA Kernels Championship in Marion, IA. Zach Terek carved in Game 1 and Kaleb Henry and @jethalas33 combine for the W in Game 2. @5stargreatlakes #uncommitted2026

Logan Johnston (‘26, IN) projectable RHP gets downhill with the 6-foot-6 frame and showed feel for an advanced CH that got hitters off balance. Struck out 8 in 5 innings today. #PGKernels #Hoosiers commit. @PG_OhioValley
