The Plumas Charter Warriors are taking a road trip to take on the Chester Volcanoes at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Plumas Charter is coming into the game hot, having won their last nine games.
Plumas Charter proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 16) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-4 win over Portola. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Warriors have posted since March 20th.
Jhett Neer made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off 11 hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three RBI. He also scored two runs, which is notable because Plumas Charter is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 3-7 otherwise.

Neer wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Dalton Bentz, who went 1-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. Plumas Charter is undefeated when Bentz posts two or more runs, but 4-7 otherwise. Owen Joseph was another, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, after only two runs in their last matchup, Chester made sure to put some runs up on the board against Burney on Thursday. The Volcanoes walked away with a 10-7 win over the Raiders. Considering the Volcanoes' hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
The team relied heavily on Chase Clark, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Grady Klimek, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run.
Plumas Charter pushed their record up to 12-7 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Chester, with the victory, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 6-6.
Plumas Charter couldn't quite get it done against Chester in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 as they fell 12-7. Can the Warriors avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
