The Rio Lindo Adventist Spartans will take on the Summerfield Waldorf Mustangs at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Rio Lindo Adventist is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season.
Rio Lindo Adventist is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Calistoga just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Wednesday. They came up short against the Wildcats, falling 10-3.
Jhordany Barcenas was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

In other batting news, Samuel Muhindo made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Summerfield Waldorf). They blew past Drew 13-3 back in March. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Mustangs.
