Watertown is 8-1 against Derby since April of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Warriors will venture away from home to take on the Red Raiders at 4:00 p.m.
Watertown is leaving town to face Derby after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Warriors lost 8-0 to Oxford two weeks ago. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.
Meanwhile, after only one run in their last game, Derby made sure to put some runs up on the board against Waterbury Career Academy on Wednesday. The Red Raiders never let the Spartans get on the board and left with a 13-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Red Raiders, who have now won three matchups by 12 runs or more so far this season.
Derby let Vincent Nuzzo and Brooklyn Fernandez run wild. Nuzzo got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI, while Fernandez went a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Derby is undefeated when Nuzzo posts two or more runs, but 2-3 otherwise. Jon Ghiggia was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base.
Derby was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Waterbury Career Academy only posted a batting average of .125.
Everything went Watertown's way against Derby in their previous meeting back in April of 2025, as Watertown made off with an 11-5 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
