Cooper Rice Game Report: @ Hayward

While American might've come up empty on Tuesday, Cooper Rice wasn't going down without a fight. Rice was unstoppable, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over six innings pitched.

Looking ahead, Rice and American will face off against Mt. Eden at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Rice duked it out with Mt. Eden (back in February of 2024), American came out on top by a score of 3-1. Will another strong game from Rice be enough to do it again?
