Wolverines Win at San Bernardino, 16-6
The Riverside Wolverines stopped the San Bernardino Flight, 16-6, at Ballpark of San Bernardino. The Wolverines got a big game from Matt Blankenship, who went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs. The winner in relief was Jonathan Miron. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. He now owns a record of 3-3. The save went to Toru Bando, his 9th this season.

Oscar Castaneda, the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 draft, had a timely hit in the top of the fifth inning. With no one out and the bases loaded, the Riverside second baseman hit a run-scoring single. That put the Wolverines in front, 2-1.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Riverside manager Matt Augustus.

The Wolverines now own a record of 83-45.
