Nick Rodriguez was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in February. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two).
Rodriguez wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kamden Wilkes, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple was Wilkes' first of the season.
River City is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. Wood is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Wood beat River City by a score of 6-5 on Thursday.
