Richland is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Tuesday. They will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against Moore County at 6:00 p.m.
Richland can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Saturday. They lost 12-0 to Milan. The Raiders have struggled against the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
12 must be Moore County's lucky number: they beat Grundy County with that score not once but twice on Monday. The Raiders beat the Yellowjackets by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 12-5. The result was nothing new for the Raiders, who have now won three matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Raegan Ross was incredible, going 2-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Rian Ross, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.
Richland was able to grind out a solid victory over Moore County in their previous matchup back in April of 2023, winning 10-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Richland since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
