Rosamond is 0-4 against Ridgeview since March of 2016 but things could change on Saturday. Rosamond will take on Ridgeview in a tournament on Saturday. Rosamond is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.

Having struggled with four defeats in a row, Rosamond turned things around against East Bakersfield on Friday. They walked away with a 10-5 win over the Blades. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Roadrunners considering their one-run performance the contest before.

Lily Reeder was a standout: she went 1-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. She also put up a stolen base, which was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Priscilla Ponce, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 3-for-3.

Rosamond's victory bumped their record up to 2-4. Ridgeview's tie makes their record 2-2-1 this season.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Rosamond has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Ridgeview struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Rosamond suffered a grim 11-5 defeat to Ridgeview in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. Can Rosamond avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
