Baseball Recap: Rigby Gets the Win

After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Post Falls, Rigby was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They walked away with a 5-2 victory over the Madison Bobcats. For the Trojans, this counts as revenge for the 9-0 win the Bobcats walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.

Kace Stapleton made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. He has become a key player for Rigby: the team is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-4 otherwise. Stapleton was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

Stapleton wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Easton Wageman, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. That triple was Wageman's first of the season.

Rigby is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. Madison's loss dropped their record down to 5-4.

Rigby will have a chance to go back-to-back against Madison: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.
