Three games at Ferry Road from Friday, against the only team above us.

Riverside lead by two and a half games, and they took two of three at Kettle Lane last month, so nobody in the main stand is calling this a formality. Win the series and we go home a game and a half behind. Lose it and the conversation on the bus turns to next year.

Castellanos starts Friday on full rest, which is the best news of the week: two runs in his last fourteen innings. Whitaker goes Saturday. Sunday is Brandvold, and June will be watching that one through her fingers.

## Probable starters

| Day | Pitcher        | ERA  |
| --- | -------------- | ---- |
| Fri | R. Castellanos | 3.12 |
| Sat | T. Whitaker    | 4.05 |
| Sun | E. Brandvold   | 4.71 |

## Their side

Delacroix pitches Friday for Riverside, and he has beaten us twice this year without letting a run in. Their lineup is the same one that scored four on us in the rain: patient, slow, happy to walk. The Mudcats lead the league in walks drawn by some distance, so a starter who throws strikes is worth more on Ferry Road than one who throws hard.

## Getting there

First pitch 19:05 each night, 13:05 on Sunday. The away block is sections 18 and 19 down the third-base line, and the guide from last month still holds: [Riverside for three nights](https://einsnull-baseball.nichedthemes.com/riverside-away-guide/), with the trains, the bus back and the one kiosk that sells anything hot.
