The Inderkum Tigers will head out to challenge the Woodcreek Timberwolves at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Inderkum lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Bella Vista, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Monday's match. The Tigers were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Broncos on Monday. The win was familiar territory for the Tigers, who have now won four contests in a row.

Natalie Aboosh spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up six Ks.

Meanwhile, Woodcreek had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Monday. Everything went their way against the Eagles as they made off with an 8-2 victory.

Maryn Macneil was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Emily Cser and Camryn Kelley did most of the damage at the plate: Cser went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Kelley went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Katie Featherston also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Inderkum pushed their record up to 13-8 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Woodcreek, their record now sits at 17-4.

Both Inderkum and Woodcreek just can't seem to miss. The Tigers have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.2 hits per game. However, it's not like Woodcreek struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.2 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Inderkum couldn't quite get it done against Woodcreek when the teams last played back in March as they fell 7-3. Can the Tigers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
