Fort Chiswell and Galax are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2021, but likely not for long. The Pioneers will host the Maroon Tide at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Fort Chiswell's pitching crew has only allowed 2.7 runs per game this season, so Galax's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Fort Chiswell's pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. Everything went their way against George Wythe as they made off with a 9-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Pioneers, who have now won 11 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Meanwhile, Galax posted their closest victory since April 16, 2024 on Friday. They had just enough and edged out Bland County 6-5.

Fort Chiswell is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. Galax's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-12.

Everything went Fort Chiswell's way against Galax in their previous matchup back in April, as Fort Chiswell made off with a 21-2 win. Will the Pioneers repeat their success, or do the Maroon Tide have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
