After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Washington Academy, Orono was happy to have turned things around on Wednesday. Everything went their way against the Central Red Devils as they made off with an 8-1 victory. Considering the Riots have won five games by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Those two stolen bases gave Ryder a new career-high. Another was Andrew Barrett, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.
