The Timberline Wolves will take on the Capital Eagles at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Timberline is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Idaho's top teams: Centennial, who was ranked 16th at the time (Timberline was ranked 23rd). The Wolves fell just short of the Patriots by a score of 5-4 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Capital). They blew past Boise 16-9 on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Eagles have posted against the Brave since April 19, 2022.
Preston Christianson was a standout: he got on base in four of his six plate appearances with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs. He has become a key player for Capital: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 6-10 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Josh Pirnie, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Capital kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
Capital pushed their record up to 11-10 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Timberline, their loss dropped their record down to 12-11.
