The Random Lake Rams will venture away from home to challenge the Reedsville Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last three games Random Lake has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Three must be Random Lake's lucky number: they beat St. John's Northwestern Military Academy with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Rams beat the Lancers by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 3-1.
Meanwhile, Reedsville was not the first on the board on Saturday, but they got there more often. They walked away with a 4-1 win over Roncalli. Surprisingly, this marked the Panthers' fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
Kodie Bubolz was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases.
Bubolz wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nathan Christensen, who went 2-for-4 with one RBI. Carter Preston also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Reedsville is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Random Lake, their record now sits at 19-5.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Random Lake has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Reedsville struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Random Lake beat Reedsville 8-4 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rams since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
