Ralston had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They never let the Nebraska City Pioneers get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Rams have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Dallas Whetzal tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Cade Stix, who went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Landen Buechler, who went 2-for-3 with one home run.

Ralston always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nebraska City only posted an OBP of .167.

Ralston's record now sits at 16-7. As for Nebraska City, they moved to 7-12 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.
