Riverview dropped their record down to 4-17 on Saturday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins at home. They lost 8-2 to the Carlson Marauders. The Pirates were not able to make up for their loss to the Marauders from their previous meeting back in May of 2024.
As for Carlson, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-9 record this season. Considering they have won nine matches by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
For Carlson's part, Cooper Farago tossed a big game, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts Farago has posted since back in April.
On the hitting side, Connor Rankin and Noah Borowski did most of the damage at the plate: Rankin got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Borowski got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. Borowski has become a key player for Carlson: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 7-9 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Matthew MacBride, who earned two RBI, one run, and one stolen base.
While Riverview had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
