Baseball Game Preview: Amador Buffaloes vs. Rosemont Wolverines

The Amador Buffaloes are taking a road trip to take on the Rosemont Wolverines at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Amador's hitters haven't had much luck over their past four matchups, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Last Thursday, Amador came up short against Liberty Ranch and fell 6-1.

Amador saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brad Blankenheim, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.

Meanwhile, Rosemont never let their opponents score on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 13-0 margin over Johnson. The Wolverines might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by ten runs or more this season.

Jack Blankenship and Nathan Coates made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Blankenship tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Coates struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Rosemont is 4-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 3-4-1 otherwise. At bat, Blankenship scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-1, while Coates scored a run and stole three bases while going 1-for-4. What's more, Coates posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in March of 2024.

In other batting news, Mason Arp and James Lara did most of the damage at the plate: Arp scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2, while Lara scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. Lara is becoming a predictor of Rosemont's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-5-1 when he doesn't). Ethan Nguyen also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.

Rosemont kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Rosemont has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-5-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. Amador's loss dropped their record down to 4-7-1.
