The Silas Rams are taking a road trip to square off against the River Ridge Hawks at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. Silas is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.6 runs per game this season.
Silas is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 18 runs on Tuesday, they were much more limited against Peninsula on Thursday. They came up short against the Seahawks, falling 7-1. The contest marked the Rams' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Natalie Medalia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and three unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Silas saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cailey Howell, who went 1-for-2 with one run.
Meanwhile, River Ridge got the win against Capital on Friday by a conclusive 15-3. Considering the Hawks have won seven games by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Raylie Birklid was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Lahtecia Garduno Hatch and Sophia Rodriguez did most of the damage at the plate: Garduno Hatch got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and one RBI, while Rodriguez went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those three hits gave Rodriguez a new career-high. Jada Flynn was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
River Ridge was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .542. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive contests.
River Ridge's record now sits at 8-6. As for Silas, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-5.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Silas has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like River Ridge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Silas might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from River Ridge in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Can the Rams avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
