Richland is a perfect 10-0 against Pasco since April of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Bombers will face off against the Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Richland has eight straight victories, Pasco has seven straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Richland is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Washington's top teams: Hanford, who was ranked fifth at the time (Richland was ranked first). The Bombers came out on top against the Falcons by a score of 5-0 on Tuesday.
Not much got past Ali Evans, who gave up just three hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Hanford off the board. Evans has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jordan Brannon, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Sophia Sams, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Pasco fell victim to Chiawana and their airtight pitching crew on Tuesday. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 17-0 to the Riverhawks, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.
Richland's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-0. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Pasco, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-7.
Everything went Richland's way against Pasco in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, as Richland made off with a 22-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bombers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
