Weston and Stratford are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2017, but likely not for long. The Trojans will be playing in front of their home fans against the Red Devils at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Weston is coming into the matchup on a five-game losing streak.

Weston fell victim to Immaculate and their airtight pitching crew on Monday. They came up short against the Mustangs, falling 13-0. The game marked the first time this year in which the Trojans were not able to get on the board.

Meanwhile, Stratford had to endure a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They put the hurt on Joel Barlow with a sharp 14-5 win on Monday. The Red Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by nine runs or more this season.

Morgan Letizia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Carolyne Burlone and Shyan Rolle did most of the damage at the plate: Burlone went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and five RBI, while Rolle went 4-for-5 with four stolen bases, four runs, and two doubles. What's more, Burlone posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. Riley Dicks was another key player, going 1-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Stratford was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. They are a perfect 3-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Weston's defeat dropped their record down to 1-8. As for Stratford, their victory was their first in the league, bumping their league record up to 1-3 and their overall record up to 3-5.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Weston has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Stratford struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Weston might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Stratford in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Will the Trojans have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
