Service strolled into their game on Saturday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They were the clear victors by a 9-3 margin over the Palmer Moose. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Lennox didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in May of 2025. At the plate, Precosky went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Lennox went 1-for-4 with one home run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Rilen Niclai, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 3-for-3. He has been hot, having also posted at least one stolen base the last six times he's played. Another player making a difference was Ryker Shreck, who went 3-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.

Service kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive contests.

Service's record is now 11-0. As for Palmer, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-4.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Service will welcome South Anchorage at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

The Moose's pitchers better be ready for this one: the Warriors have averaged an impressive 8.4 runs per game this season.
