The Windsor Wizards will take on the Loveland Red Wolves at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Windsor is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.6 runs per game this season.
Windsor took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Saturday. They came out on top against Fort Collins by a score of 9-5.
Ethan Fillinger was a major factor no matter where he played.

Like Windsor, Loveland also got a great game from a two-way player: Alex Martin. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Martin has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and one triple.
Martin wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Will Dunbar, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
Windsor pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Loveland, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-8.
Windsor's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's contest. The Wizards have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.2 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Loveland, though, as they've been averaging only 0.7 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Windsor continue to outrun the ball?
Everything went Windsor's way against Loveland in their previous matchup back in March of 2022, as Windsor made off with a 17-4 win. Do the Wizards have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Red Wolves turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
