The Brentsville District Tigers will venture away from home to face off against the Skyline Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Brentsville District is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.1 runs per game this season.

On Thursday, Brentsville District made easy work of Millbrook and carried off a 7-1 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Tigers.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ava Garza, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. Another player making a difference was Natalie Marvin, who went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases and two runs.

Skyline's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Brentsville District has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .467. It's a different story for Skyline, though, as they've only averaged .332. Will they be able to contain Brentsville District's hitters?

Brentsville District came out on top in a nail-biter against Skyline in their previous matchup back in March, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
