Hamilton and Biggs are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2022, but likely not for long. The Braves will challenge the Wolverines at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hamilton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.7 runs per game this season.
Hamilton is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They walked away with an 11-7 win over Quincy. The Braves haven't had any issues with the Trojans recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive victory against them.
Hamilton let Austin 'Stewy' Studybaker and Hayden 'Chicken Joe' Boles run wild. Studybaker went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while 'Chicken Joe' Boles went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Mark Steele was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three runs.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Hamilton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in three consecutive games.
Meanwhile, Biggs hadn't done well against Modoc recently (they were 0-4 in their previous four matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Wolverines were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Braves. Considering the Wolverines have won 14 contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Dennis Dewhurst spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up 11 Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jaiden Bandy, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Ayden Owen, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.
Hamilton's record now sits at 16-10. As for Biggs, their record is now 21-5.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Hamilton has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Biggs struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Hamilton came out on top in a nail-biter against Biggs in their previous meeting two weeks ago, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Braves since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
