Nestucca had lost three straight at home, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 5-10 to make it four. They lost 14-6 to the Gaston Greyhounds. The Bobcats were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Greyhounds apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Donovan Romero was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
As for Gaston, their record now sits at 7-5. The result was nothing new for the Greyhounds, who have now won four games by eight runs or more so far this season.
On Gaston's side, Ayden Hansen was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 2.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. Hansen also tossed no walks, which is notable because Gaston is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 4-5 otherwise. Hansen was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Gaston got a massive performance out of Zach Bozich, who went 1-for-3 with three stolen bases and four runs. The Greyhounds are 4-1 when Bozich posts two or more runs, but 3-4 otherwise. Ayden Foster was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
While Nestucca had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.
