Trenton has gone 9-1 against Union County recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Tigers will head out to challenge the Fightin' Tigers at 6:00 p.m. Trenton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.1 runs per game this season.

On Monday, Trenton came up short against Crystal River and fell 9-6.

Presley Akins was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 4-for-4. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.

Meanwhile, Union County won against Bronson on Friday with ten runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Monday. The Fightin' Tigers blew past Trinity Christian Academy 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Fightin' Tigers, who have now won 12 games by six runs or more so far this season.

The team relied heavily on Jaydin Alvarez, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Courtney Manning was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.

Union County hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in 13 consecutive contests.

Union County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.2 runs over those games. As for Trenton, their loss dropped their record down to 9-6.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Trenton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Union County struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Everything went Trenton's way against Union County in their previous meeting back in February, as Trenton made off with an 11-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
