The Dunbar Crimson Tide are taking a road trip to challenge the Eastern Ramblers at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
Dunbar is leaving town to face Eastern after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Dunbar lost 22-0 to School Without Walls on Friday.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eastern). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Ballou a 19-0 shutout on Thursday. With that win, the Ramblers brought their scoring average up to 6.5 runs per game.
Lucas Campbell made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the first time he hasn't allowed a single hit since back in March of 2024. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while going 1-for-2. He also hit a triple, marking his first of the season.
In other batting news, Aaron Williams was a standout: he went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Simon Riedel, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Eastern always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .783. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Dunbar skirted past Eastern 4-3 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Dunbar since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
