The Central Bobcats will take on the Washington Rams at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
Central is leaving town to face Washington after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Bobcats came up short against Independence on Thursday, falling 12-6. The Bobcats haven't had much luck with the Patriots recently, as the team has come up short the last seven times they've met.
Meanwhile, Washington had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against Cortez on Thursday as they made off with a 17-9 win.
Troy Kenyon made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-6 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kaleb Bralish, who got on base in four of his six plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Dustin Lugo, who went 2-for-5 with three runs and one RBI.
Washington kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cortez only managed six.
Central might still be hurting after the 14-4 loss they got from Washington in their previous meeting back in March of 2025. Can the Bobcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
