The Reno Huskies are taking a road trip to take on the Reed Raiders at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The last five games Reno has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Reno is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Nevada's top teams: Bishop Manogue, who was ranked seventh at the time (Reno was ranked 11th). The Huskies narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Miners 3-2.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Reed). They blew past Nevada Union 14-4 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Jakob Bartelheim spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Reed got a massive performance out of Luke Goddard, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Goddard is becoming a predictor of the Raiders' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 8-13 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Bailey Moss, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.
Reed kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April of 2024.
Reno's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-10. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of 1.5 runs across that stretch. As for Reed, the win got them back to even at 13-13.
Reno couldn't quite finish off Reed when the teams last played on April 3rd and fell 3-1. Can the Huskies avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
