The Wray Eagles will challenge the Wiggins Tigers at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Wray will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.
Wray had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Caliche on Thursday. The Eagles were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Buffaloes. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by ten runs or more this season.
Gage Waitman was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
In other batting news, Zoltan Custer was excellent, going 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Broderick Kite, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs.
Wray was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .562. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Caliche only posted a batting average of .238.
Meanwhile, Wiggins came up short against Haxtun on Thursday and fell 9-5. The Tigers have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Like Wray, Wiggins also got a great game from a two-way player: Larry Garcia. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Garcia was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
In other batting news, Jace Yzaguirre was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Wiggins' defeat dropped their record down to 9-9. As for Wray, their victory bumped their record up to 13-2.
Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Wray has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.7 hits per game. However, it's not like Wiggins struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.3 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Wray's way against Wiggins in their previous meeting back in April of 2025, as Wray made off with a 15-5 win. Will the Eagles repeat their success, or do the Tigers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
