The White River Hornets are taking a road trip to square off against the Beamer Titans at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. White River is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.2 runs per game this season.

Meanwhile, Beamer hadn't done well against Auburn recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. The Titans sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 16-15 win over the Trojans. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Titans considering their one-run performance the game before.

Beamer let Asialynn Solia and Lauren Williams run wild. Solia scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances, while Williams went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs.
