Richland has gone 9-1 against Kamiakin recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Bombers will square off against the Braves at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Richland has seven straight victories, Kamiakin has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.

Richland will bounce into Tuesday's game after beating Chiawana, who they had gone 1-8 against in their nine prior meetings. The Bombers beat the Riverhawks by a goal, winning 1-0. The win was all the more spectacular given Richland's disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington soccer rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while Chiawana are ranked tenth).

Richland's one-goal win came courtesy of Martin Rivera, who's now up to three this season.

Meanwhile, Kamiakin fell victim to Pasco and their airtight defense on Friday. They lost 6-0 to the Bulldogs.

Richland's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 13 goals over those five matchups. As for Kamiakin, their loss dropped their record down to 4-10.

Richland came out on top in a nail-biter against Kamiakin in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bombers since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
