Leto is 8-2 against Blake since February of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Falcons will challenge the Yellow Jackets at 7:00 p.m. Leto is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.

If Leto beats Blake with 23 runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 23-8 margin over Middleton on Monday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Falcons.

Jayla Fernandez was a standout: she got on base in all six of her plate appearances with one home run, four stolen bases, and four runs. What's more, she posted three hits, the most she's had since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Brooklynn Duran, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Leto kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.8 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 10.6.

Blake played against Sickles on Monday and lost via forfeit.

Blake's loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 6-11. As for Leto, their victory bumped their record up to an identical 6-11.

Everything went Leto's way against Blake in their previous matchup on Thursday, as Leto made off with a 23-13 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
