Gunderson has gone 8-2 against Mt. Pleasant recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Grizzlies will be playing in front of their home fans against the Cardinals at 4:00 p.m. Gunderson has given up an average of 7.4 runs per game this season, but Thursday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Silver Creek hit Gunderson with a four-run seventh inning on Tuesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Grizzlies fell 11-6 to the Raiders. That's two games in a row now that the Grizzlies have lost by exactly five runs.
Gunderson saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cash Duffy-Smith, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double. Another was Dominic Lake, who went 1-for-4 with three stolen bases and one run.
Meanwhile, Mt. Pleasant had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out the Aztec Warriors 7-5.
Isaiah Arroyo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 12 Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Nate Ortiz and Isaiah Pena did most of the damage at the plate: Ortiz got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs, while Pena went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and two RBI. That's the most RBI Pena has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Santiago Ramirez, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Mt. Pleasant's victory bumped their record up to 13-5. As for Gunderson, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Gunderson has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Mt. Pleasant struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Gunderson might still be hurting after the 15-5 loss they got from Mt. Pleasant in their previous matchup back in March. Will the Grizzlies 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.
