Caliche extended their losing streak to three on Monday, dropping them down to 5-12. They came up short against the Peetz Bulldogs, falling 10-0. The Buffaloes were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.
As for Peetz, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
For Peetz's part, Conner Schumacher and Rhyder Bayne were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Schumacher didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Meanwhile, Bayne pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the most strikeouts Schumacher has posted since back in March. At the plate, Schumacher got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Bayne got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. That home run marked the first that Schumacher has launched this season.

Moreno got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run, while Wood got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs.
