On Thursday Hulbert's undefeated season almost came to an end. They had just enough and edged out the Oaks-Mission Warriors 5-3. While the Riders didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-20), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
The team relied heavily on Ethan Thompson, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, one triple, and one run. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April of 2024. Shane Hubbard also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
