Manteo is 1-9 against First Flight since April of 2019 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Manteo Redskins will be playing in front of their home fans against the First Flight Nighthawks at 7:00 p.m. Manteo is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.9 runs per game this season.
Manteo is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 12 runs on Tuesday, they were much more limited against Holmes on Friday. They fell 7-2 to the Aces.
Trevor Sawyer was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over 4.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Manteo saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Drew Brown, who scored a run and stole Two bases. while going 1-for-3. Brown is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.
Meanwhile, after only two runs in their last game, First Flight made sure to put some runs up on the board against Northeastern on Friday. First Flight put the hurt on Northeastern with a sharp 15-6 win. The Nighthawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by nine runs or more this season.
First Flight let Lance Jones and Fionn Reilly run wild. Jones scored a run and stole Two bases. while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Reilly scored three runs and stole Two bases. while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Reilly has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Dillon Francis, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
First Flight is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 9.7 runs. Manteo's loss dropped their record down to 5-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Manteo has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like First Flight struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Manteo suffered a grim 11-2 defeat to First Flight in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Can Manteo avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
