Meanwhile, Shafter fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Chavez on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Titans by a score of 4-3. The Generals haven't had much luck with the Titans recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
Lukas Pena was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-2 with one home run. The team also got some help courtesy of Andy Gomez, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.
Shafter now has a losing record of 3-4. As for Chavez, the victory was their first on the road, bumping their record up to 2-6-1.
Chavez's speedy runners might be the difference in Thursday's contest. The Titans have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Shafter, though, as they've been averaging only 0.7 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Chavez continue to outrun the ball?
Chavez came out on top in a nail-biter against Shafter when the teams last played on Tuesday, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Titans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
