The Delta Rabbits will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Grand County Red Devils at 11:00 a.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.

Cy Droubay made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Droubay was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.

In other pitching news, Hunt Roninson looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.

Back at the plate, Kyler Davies was a standout: he scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Carson Nielson was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.

Delta always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .536. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hillcrest only posted an OBP of .316.

Meanwhile, Grand County never let their opponents score on Thursday. They were the clear victor by a 10-0 margin over Aztec.

The team relied heavily on Jt Dowd, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. Another player making a difference was Weston Jones, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Delta was able to grind out a solid win over Grand County when the teams last played back in March of 2022, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Delta since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
