Richmond came tearing into Wednesday's game with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They never let the Butler Bulldogs get on the board and left with a 2-0 victory. That's more bragging rights for the Raiders, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Jeremiah Ritter looked comfortable as he tossed 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Landon Taylor, who scored a run while going 3-for-3.
Richmond's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Butler, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Richmond will host Scotland at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Butler, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Palisades at 6:00 p.m. The Pumas have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.13 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
