Both the B's and High Wheelers come into the June 18-23 set above .500 on the season, with Yolo climbing to 11-10 on the strength of a three-game winning streak. The High Wheelers closed out a road series win with hot bats in wins over the Norther Colorado Owlz, capped with Braylin Marine's six-RBI performance in the 14-3 series finale.
In taking 4-of-6 from the Owlz, Yolo rebounded from dropping the previous set in Oakland's inaugural homestand, June 4-8 at Raimondi Park. The first-ever home series for the Ballers is part of a 14-10 opening stretch to their existence, including last week's series split with the Rocky Mountain Vibes.
Oakland capped the series against Rocky Mountain with a 16-3 drubbing of the Vibes, which included home runs from Brad Burckel, Coleton Horner and Noah Martinez.
The offensive outpouring was an aberration from much of the series, in which the B's and Vibes locked into pitchers' duels. Four of the six contests ended with combined totals of nine runs or fewer.
In a 5-1 Ballers win, Carson Lambert pitched six shutout innings with nine strikeouts and allowed just three hits.
