Six seems to be a good number for the Rams as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chireno). They came out on top against Deweyville by a score of 6-2 on Friday.
Camden Nichols was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only a hit while striking out ten over five innings pitched. Nichols was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI and one double.
