The Holy Family Tigers will venture away from home to challenge the Monarch Coyotes on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Holy Family has nine straight wins, Monarch has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
On Thursday, Holy Family made easy work of Longmont and carried off an 11-4 victory. Considering the Tigers have won 12 contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two hits in eight consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one double and one RBI.

Monarch's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Holy Family has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.5 hits per game. It's a different story for Monarch, though, as they've been averaging 9.2 hits. Given Holy Family's sizable advantage in that area, the Coyotes will need to find a way to close that gap.
Holy Family took their win against Monarch in their previous matchup back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 11-0 score. 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.
