They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 6-5 heartbreaker at the hands of the Walkertown Wolfpack. The Rams were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Wolfpack apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Reidsville saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Princeton Janney, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double. That double was Janney's first of the season.

On Walkertown's side, Caden Joyce was a major factor no matter where he played. He tossed six innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off seven hits. Joyce has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with three RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Dakota Larimore was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Cam Smith was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Reidsville has already played their next game, a 17-0 win against North Forsyth on the 9th. Hopefully Walkertown paid attention to the Rams' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
