Pitman is 0-10 against Gregori since March of 2022 but things could change on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the rust and duke it out at 4:00 p.m. Pitman is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.1 runs per game this season.

Pitman is headed into Tuesday's contest looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fourth straight game last Tuesday. They took an 8-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of Turlock.

Ivy Butler was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Keanna Haro, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Meanwhile, Gregori waltzed into their matchup last Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 15-1 win. The Jaguars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by eight runs or more this season.

Gregori also got a great performance from Allyson Conway as she tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. Conway has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Angela Stoner was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Angelina Hoffman, who scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

Gregori always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .543. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Turlock only posted an OBP of .400.

Gregori pushed their record up to 10-2 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Pitman, their loss dropped their record down to 3-7.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Pitman has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Gregori struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Pitman might still be hurting after the 12-2 defeat they got from Gregori when the teams last played on March 13th. Can Pitman avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
