The home team had won the previous two meetings between Roanoke Rapids and Bunn, and Roanoke Rapids kept the tradition alive. The Yellowjackets walked away with a 5-2 victory over the Wildcats on Tuesday. This was a revenge game for the Yellowjackets: when they faced off against the Wildcats two weeks ago, they had to take a 4-3 loss.
Madison Jones made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Shandi Byrum, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Maecy Garriss, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
Roanoke Rapids always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bunn only posted an OBP of .231.
Roanoke Rapids is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Bunn, they moved to 16-4 with that defeat, which also ended their nine-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Roanoke Rapids will head out to square off against Southern Nash at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Firebirds will roll in looking for their 21st straight victory, something the Yellowjackets surely won't give up without a fight. Bunn does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
