The Hoboken Redwings will square off against the North Arlington Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Hoboken is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.
Hoboken is headed into Saturday's match looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their third straight game on Friday. They fell 5-2 to Memorial.
Hoboken saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was William Herrera, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one run.
Meanwhile, North Arlington gave up the first runs on Wednesday, but they didn't let that get them down. They put the hurt on Butler with a sharp 14-3 victory. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won four games by six runs or more so far this season.
Chris Troyano was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. Those 14 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. He is becoming a predictor of North Arlington's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 3-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sam Rosamilia, who fired off two home runs and six RBI while going 2-for-4. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Nico Stanzione, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
North Arlington lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
North Arlington's win ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 5-8. As for Hoboken, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Hoboken has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like North Arlington struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Hoboken came out on top in a nail-biter against North Arlington in their previous matchup back in April of 2023, sneaking past 4-2. Do the Redwings have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Vikings turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
