Preview: Eatonville Cruisers vs. River Ridge Hawks

The Eatonville Cruisers will look to defend their home field on Thursday against the River Ridge Hawks at 4:00 p.m. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the pair posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.

Eatonville kicked off their season on the road last Wednesday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell 13-10 to Curtis. The defeat means Eatonville is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.

Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought game, but River Ridge had to settle for an 11-10 loss against Stadium on Wednesday. River Ridge has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Lahtecia Garduno Hatch made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Jayden Kautz, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, a triple, and a double.

Even though they lost, River Ridge was hitting in the corners and finished the game with three triples. That's the most triples they've managed all season.

Eatonville might still be hurting after the 12-0 defeat they got from River Ridge in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. Can Eatonville avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
