There's no place like home for Bella Vista, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They skirted past the Ponderosa Bruins 2-1. This was a revenge game for the Broncos: when they faced off against the Bruins last Tuesday, they had to take a 6-5 defeat.
Bella Vista got a great performance from Devin James as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over six innings pitched. Furthermore, James didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024.
On the hitting side, Bella Vista saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Drew Longaker, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI. Gage Titus also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Bella Vista has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. Ponderosa's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 6-5.
Bella Vista and Ponderosa could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps California Rankings.
