After having lost a blowout in their previous game against West Side, Rose Bud was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 12-4 margin over the Pangburn Tigers. Considering the Ramblers have won eight matches by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Jay Bell and Calan English were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Bell pitched five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Meanwhile, English pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Rose Bud is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 5-7 otherwise. At the plate, Bell scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3, while English scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3.

Those three hits gave Compton a new career-high. Caden Calhoun was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-5.
