Batavia extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping their season record down to 10-7 in the process. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 7-1 to the Mendon Vikings, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. If the Blue Devils were looking for revenge after losing 4-1 to the Vikings when the teams met back in May of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Mendon, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
For Mendon's part, they got a great performance from Ethan Postle as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over six innings pitched. Those 11 strikeouts gave Postle a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Mendon let Colden Forney and Reece Totedo run wild. Forney went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Totedo went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Those two stolen bases gave Totedo a new career-high. Noah Sansone was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Batavia will take on Honeoye Falls-Lima at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Blue Devils are facing the Cougars at the right time seeing as the Cougars are stuck on a three-game losing streak. As for Mendon, they will square off against Sutherland at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Vikings 3, the Knights 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
