Rock Ridge extended their losing streak to ten on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 1-17 in the process. They fell 8-3 to the Heritage Pride. If the Phoenix were looking for revenge after losing 16-2 to the Pride when the teams met back in May of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Rock Ridge saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Dhruv Vemuri, who went 3-for-4 with two runs and two doubles. Ben O'Connor also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
As for Heritage, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-11 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.4 runs over those games.
On Heritage's side, they let Luke Olszewski and Cooper Miskelly run wild. Olszewski went 3-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base, while Miskelly went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Miskelly is becoming a predictor of Heritage's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 6-10 when he doesn't). Owen Brundage was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
While Rock Ridge had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
