If the Little Giants were looking for revenge after losing 3-2 to the Wildcats when the teams met back in May of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Ross saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Dominac Burkett, who went 1-for-2 with one run. Robert Rich Jr also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
As for Napoleon, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 14-5-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.
On Napoleon's side, Trey Rubinstein was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out 15 batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off two hits. Those 15 strikeouts gave Rubinstein a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
In other batting news, Parker Woods and Owen Espinoza did most of the damage at the plate: Woods went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI, while Espinoza went 1-for-5 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases Espinoza has posted over his last 11 games. Another player making a difference was Eric Hershberger, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.
While Ross 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 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
