The Randallstown Rams are taking a road trip to challenge the Pikesville Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Randallstown is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.
While Randallstown's victory against Owings Mills wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Rams narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Golden Eagles 7-5. The Rams haven't had any issues with the Golden Eagles recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Ashton Dixon and Nigel KiNg were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Dixon pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, King struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. Dixon has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, Dixon went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run, while King went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. King is becoming a predictor of Randallstown's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-6 when he doesn't).
