Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pharr-San Juan-Alamo). They put the hurt on Economedes with a sharp 17-5 win on Friday. That's two games straight that the Bears have won by exactly 12 runs.

Jacob Delgadillo was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching five innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off four hits. Delgadillo was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double.

Weslaco is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, their win bumped their record up to 19-2-1.

Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Weslaco has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .456. However, it's not like Pharr-San Juan-Alamo struggles in that department as they've averaged .506. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
