Baseball Preview: Vacaville Bulldogs vs. Freedom Falcons

The Vacaville Bulldogs will be playing at home against the Freedom Falcons at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Vacaville's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They blew past Armijo 8-0.

Jaiden Oldwin looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Rome Griego, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.

Meanwhile, Freedom was able to grind out a solid victory over Clayton Valley Charter on Monday, taking the game 5-0.

Adrian Boles looked comfortable as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched.

At the plate, Freedom's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Devan Carmignani, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Vacaville is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. As for Freedom, their victory bumped their record up to 12-10.

Vacaville skirted past Freedom 4-2 in their previous matchup back in February of 2020. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Freedom's Andrew Neil, who struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. Now that he won't be playing on Wednesday, will it be that much easier for Vacaville to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
