For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Boone and Freedom meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Friday. Boone walked away with a 7-3 win over Freedom. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 8-6 on March 7th.
Leo Reina tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in February.
On the hitting side, Micah Arroyo and Luke Barry did most of the damage at the plate: Arroyo scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while Barry scored a run while going 3-for-4. Boone is 2-1 when Arroyo posts two or more runs, but 5-7 otherwise. James Cooper also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.

Boone kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April of 2024.
Boone has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. Freedom's loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 5-13.
Coincidentally, Boone and Freedom will both be playing Innovation the next time they take the field. Boone will head out to face Innovation at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, while Freedom will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
