Eastside extended their losing streak to seven on Thursday, dropping them down to 8-10. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 6-5 heartbreaker at the hands of the Garrett Railroaders. The Blazers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Railroaders apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2025.
As for Garrett, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 11-4. That said, the team wasn't facing the toughest opposition over that stretch, as it included 4-10 Lakeland and 8-10 Eastside.
For Garrett's part, Ashlee Vanderbosch spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned runs on eight hits and racked up nine Ks. Vanderbosch has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Cameron Edwards, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Sarah DePew, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Looking ahead, Eastside will venture away from home to face off against Lakeland at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Garrett, they will host Huntington North at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Vikings have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed nine runs per game on average), something the Railroaders will no doubt try to take advantage of.
