In other batting news, Cory-Rawson got a big performance out of Austin Inbody, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI. That RBI was Inbody's first of the season. Mason Fruth was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Ridgemont has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-10 record this season. As for Cory-Rawson, their win was their first in the conference, bumping their conference record up to 1-5 and their overall record up to 2-7.
Ridgemont took their victory against Cory-Rawson in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 18-8 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Gophers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
