The home team had won the previous five meetings between Clarkston and Rogers, and Rogers kept the tradition alive. Clarkston fell just short of Rogers by a score of 12-11 on Saturday. The Bantams were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Pirates apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
Hayden Line was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 4-for-5. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. Another player making a difference was Kendry Gimlin, who went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases and two RBI.

Even though they lost, Clarkston was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .382. The last time their batting average was this high was back in May of 2024.
Clarkston has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. Rogers' first win this season bumped their record up to 1-7.
While Clarkston 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.
