Besting Rochester - Worcester posted their best record in their history against any International League opponent in a single season last year vs. Rochester going 18-6 vs. the Red Wings (8-4 here in Rochester and 10-2 at home at Polar Park in Worcester) for a .750 winning pct. In 2024, the WooSox went 16-7 vs. Lehigh Valley and that .696 winning pct. was their best against any IL foe (of more than six games) since they came into existence in 2021 before last year's dominance of the Red Wings. During their inaugural 2021 Covid-impacted season, the WooSox only faced five different opponents all year and they had their most success against Lehigh Valley going 22-13 (.629). In 2022 the Sox were 14-10 vs. Buffalo and in 2023 they finished 15-8 vs. Buffalo (both their best marks each year).

Wings To Go - Worcester has won 32 of their last 44 games in Rochester since the latter part of the 2021 season. Last year the Sox were 8-4 at then-Innovative Field taking 5 of 6 games from April 15-20, 2025 and then splitting a 6-game set in Rochester last July 8-13. Worcester swept a 6-game series from the Red Wings at Polar Park last June 3-8 marking the second-ever WooSox 6-game sweep in their 5+-year history with the other coming in Rochester from August 31 - September 5, 2021. And the Sox ended the 2025 season by taking 4 of 6 from the Wings in Worcester last September 16-21.

Turning the Beat Around - Worcester has won 5 of their last 7 games following their season-high 5-game losing streak from April 14-18. They were 10-4 on April 12th for the best start in franchise-history. The WooSox have been above .500 since April 1st.
