Early Season Highlights
The Healdsburg Prune Packers burst onto the 2026 baseball scene, rattling off six straight victories that featured a combined scoring margin of 84‑11. The momentum was halted in their latest outing, a narrow 8‑6 defeat at the hands of the Chico Lone Wolves.
Central to the early surge have been Jake McCoy and JC Osorio‑Agard, each delivering timely homers, while Matthew Ossenfort has already added three long balls to the lineup. Cade Campbell and Jack Ruckert are tied for the team lead in RBIs with nine each, underscoring a balanced offensive attack.
The Sonoma Stompers, once hot at the start, have slid into a three‑game losing streak, the most recent a 6‑0 shutout at the hands of the San Luis Obispo Blues. Hunter Carlson continues to anchor the offense with 14 hits, two home runs and 16 RBIs.
On the mound, a five‑man rotation has been equally effective, logging 53 strikeouts against just 12 walks while surrendering only seven earned runs over 33 innings. Alec Murray, Matthew Schallberger and Mateo Heredia have combined for 22 strikeouts in 16 ⅓ innings without allowing a run.
With the season still young, both clubs will look to adjust — Healdsburg aiming to rebound from the setback and Sonoma seeking to break out of its slump as they head into the next stretch of games.
