The Dalles is 9-1 against Estacada since May of 2023 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Riverhawks will look to defend their home field against the Rangers at 4:30 p.m. The Dalles' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Estacada's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

The Dalles is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Gladstone just ended the team's 11-game winning streak on Monday. They fell just short of the Gladiators by a score of 4-3. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 23, 2025, but that streak is no more.

Meanwhile, after some red-hot attacks at the plate in their last four contests, Estacada finally came back down to earth on Friday. They fell just short of Gladstone by a score of 2-1.

Estacada's loss dropped their record down to 20-7. As for The Dalles, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-4.

Everything went The Dalles' way against Estacada in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as The Dalles made off with a 12-2 victory. Will the Riverhawks repeat their success, or do the Rangers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
