Dolores pushed their record up to 10-10 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.3 runs over those games. As for Cedaredge, their loss dropped their record down to 12-8.
Cedaredge got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in May of 2025 against Dolores by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bruins since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
