The Osbourn Park Yellowjackets are taking a road trip to take on the Riverside Ram at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Osbourn Park is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.9 runs per game this season.

Osbourn Park had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Potomac Falls on Monday. The Yellowjackets blew past the Panthers 13-3. While the Yellowjackets didn't have the best season last year (they finished 3-15), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Bobby Shearin made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and only one walk). Shearin was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two RBI.

In other batting news, Evan Charest and Lucas Duncan did most of the damage at the plate: Charest got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple, while Duncan scored three runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Charest has posted since back in March of 2024. Tyler Merryman also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Osbourn Park always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .697. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Meanwhile, Riverside had to endure a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against Robinson by a score of 6-2 on Monday.

Osbourn Park has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Riverside, their record is now 2-3.
