Jayden Sparkman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on ten hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Riverside is 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 4-7 otherwise.

At the plate, Riverside saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Caden Lipscomp, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Lipscomp also put up a double, which was his first of the season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hurricane). They put the hurt on Capital with a sharp 21-2 victory on Tuesday. The win was nothing new for the Redskins as they're now sitting on three straight.

Riverside's loss dropped their record down to 6-8. As for Hurricane, their victory bumped their record up to 12-3.

Riverside might still be hurting after the 16-0 defeat they got from Hurricane when the teams last played back in March of 2022. Can the Warriors avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
