Rosewood has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will square off against the Perquimans Pirates on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Rosewood is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They never let Vance Charter onto the board and left with a 10-0 win.
Robbie Boren was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched an inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Boren was even better at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-3.
In other batting news, Cam Medlin was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last six times he's played. Another player making a difference was Anderson Clucas, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, Perquimans had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.5 runs), and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They blew past the Rebels 14-1.
Like Rosewood, Perquimans also got a great game from a two-way player: Maddux Thach. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Thach was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-3.
In other batting news, Perquimans let Jacob Askew and Brady Shepherd loose on the outfield. Askew scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Shepherd scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Sean Saunders was another key contributor, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
Rosewood's victory was their 25th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-5. As for Perquimans, their win bumped their record up to an identical 18-5.
Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Rosewood has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.6 hits per game. However, it's not like Perquimans struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.1. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Rosewood might still be hurting after the 7-0 defeat they got from Perquimans in their previous matchup back in May of 2022. Thankfully for Rosewood, Tanner Thach (who didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out 18 over seven innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
