Benson Leads Sweepers to 6-4 Win Over Aggies
No one was more impactful than John Benson in the 6-4 Louisville win over Atlanta. Benson, the 27th overall pick in the 2023 draft, went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Daniel Williams earned the win to go to 5-6. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work. The last-place Aggies have dropped 5 straight games.

With Louisville leading 2-1 in the bottom of the second, Benson hit a fastball from Trent Johnson for a 3-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Sweepers ahead, 5-1.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Benson told the Louisville News.
