Horizon lost to Pinnacle back in April of 2024, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Friday. The Horizon Huskies walked away with a 7-2 victory over the Pinnacle Pioneers. While the Huskies didn't have the best season last year (they finished 13-16), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Rio Ryu spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jackson Weber, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Chris Quigg, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4.
