While Okanogan's victory against Lake Roosevelt wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Bulldogs had just enough and edged out the Raiders 3-2 on Tuesday. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 4, 2024, but that streak is no more.

Meanwhile, Liberty Bell hadn't done well against Brewster recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Mountain Lions' pitchers stepped up to hand the Bears a 12-0 shutout. Considering the Mountain Lions have won eight matchups by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

The win was the third in a row for Liberty Bell, bringing their record up to 10-4. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.7 runs over those games. As for Okanogan, their win bumped their record up to 9-4.

Okanogan might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from Liberty Bell in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Can the Bulldogs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
