He has also played a strong center field as Poole has not committed an error this season. Eli Putnam, despite some time spent on the disabled list, has also had a large impact offensively for the team. He is second on the team in both batting average at .303 and RBIs with fourteen. Sterry has also had an impact in the middle of the order. He leads the team and is tied for league lead with seven home runs on the season.
