Hopkinton is a perfect 3-0 against North Attleborough since June of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Hillers will head out to take on the Rocketeers at 12:00 p.m. Hopkinton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.1 runs per game this season.
Hopkinton is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Xaverian Brothers just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Hawks. The contest marked the Hillers' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Dylan Ruff put in work no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Ruff was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Ruff wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nick Pedroli, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one triple and one stolen base. That triple marked the first that Pedroli has hit this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North Attleborough). Everything went their way against Mansfield on Wednesday as they made off with a 12-0 victory. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Rocketeers with their most commanding win of the season.
The win made it two in a row for North Attleborough and bumps their season record up to 5-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Hopkinton, they suffered their first home loss, dropping their record down to 5-3.
Hopkinton came out on top in a nail-biter against North Attleborough in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, sneaking past 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hillers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
