The Rogers Rams are taking a road trip to square off against the Ballard Beavers at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Rams fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They walked away with a 6-2 victory over Tahoma on Wednesday.
Sierra Murray spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on three hits and racked up 14 Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Riley Humphrey, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Rossmeier, who scored two runs while getting on base in both of her plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Ballard never let their opponents score on Thursday. They blew past Cascade 10-0. The high-scoring effort was just what the Beavers needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Ballard let Katie Davis and Elsa Sand run wild. Davis scored a run while going 3-for-4, while Sand scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. That's the most runs Sand has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Brooklyn Morris, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-4.
Ballard hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts every time they've taken the field this season.
