The Matanzas Pirates will take on the Providence School Stallions at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Matanzas is coming into the contest hot, having won their last seven games.
Matanzas had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt St. Cloud on Saturday. The Pirates were the clear victors by a 14-1 margin over the Bulldogs. The result was nothing new for the Pirates, who have now won eight matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
