Paragould had lost six games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 7-8 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They never let the Nettleton Raiders get on the board and left with a 2-0 victory. For the Rams, this counts as revenge for the 9-8 win the Raiders walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.

As for Nettleton, they have been struggling recently as they've lost ten of their last 11 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-12 record this season. While getting shut out isn't ideal, they haven't been shut out since back in March.

For Nettleton's part, Maddox Hampton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks. Hampton has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Nettleton saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kameron Bender, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base. That stolen base marked the first that Bender has snagged this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Paragould will challenge Jonesboro at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Nettleton, they will take on Rivercrest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
