Callaway had lost eight straight at home, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 2-16 to make it nine. They lost 23-0 to the Ridgeland Titans. The Chargers lost against the Titans in their previous head to head back in April of 2021, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the 2-0 score last time.
As for Ridgeland, with the victory, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 13-11. The result was nothing new for the Titans, who have now won nine contests by six runs or more so far this season.
For Ridgeland's part, Xavier Flagg was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave Flagg a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one RBI.
In other batting news, DK Wallace was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of Ridgeland's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is undefeated (and 10-11 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Mikal Salter, who went 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and two doubles.
While Callaway 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 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
