Viewpoint dropped their record down to 12-7 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's six-game streak of wins on the road. They fell just short of the Crossroads Roadrunners by a score of 2-1. The Patriots were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Roadrunners apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
As for Crossroads, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
For Crossroads' part, they got a great performance from Quinn Barach as he struck out six batters over eight innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts Barach has posted since back in March.
On the hitting side, Crossroads let Alfred Bloomingdale and Jesse Abrams run wild. Bloomingdale went 1-for-4 with one home run and one stolen base, while Abrams went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI. Those two doubles gave Abrams a new career-high.
While Viewpoint 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 Wednesday.
