St. John Bosco has won six straight games at home, while Vista Murrieta has won six straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Braves will welcome the Broncos at 3:15 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
If St. John Bosco beats Vista Murrieta with two runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two games with that exact score. The Braves had just enough and edged out Torrance 2-1 last Wednesday.
