Rogers had lost four straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 3-4 to make it five. They fell 6-3 to the Prout Crusaders. If the Vikings were looking for revenge after losing 16-9 to the Crusaders when the teams met back in May of 2022, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Rogers saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Darren Carter, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one RBI.
As for Prout, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 3-4. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
On Prout's side, Gavin McCoy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Cam Randall, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Rogers will take on North Smithfield at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Vikings' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Northmen have averaged an impressive 7.4 runs per game this season. As for Prout, they will challenge St. Raphael Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Saints will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each contest than the last.
