If Ponderosa was feeling good off their 7-1 takedown of Inderkum last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Ponderosa Bruins fell just short of the Placer Hillmen by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Ponderosa of the 4-3 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2023.
Ponderosa saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Max Baumgartner, who went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and an RBI.
On Placer's side, Jayson Glatt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits and racked up six Ks. Glatt has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Devin Knight was excellent, going 3-for-4 with a triple and a run. Another player making a difference was Jack Addison, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Ponderosa dropped their record down to 2-11 with that loss, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Placer, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 8-5 record this season.
While Ponderosa had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
