Owyhee has gone 9-1 against Eagle recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Storm will take on the Mustangs in a tournament on Tuesday. Owyhee will come into the game with an undefeated record on the line.
Owyhee is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Idaho's top teams: Capital, who was ranked 14th at the time (Owyhee was ranked first). The Storm walked away with an 8-3 victory over the Golden Eagles on Monday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last five times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
The team relied heavily on McKenna Schab, who went 1-for-4 with one home run and five RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Haiylee Reeves, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
Meanwhile, Eagle made easy work of Kuna on Monday and carried off an 8-2 win. Considering the Mustangs have won ten matchups by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Peyton Bargen made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Bargen was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run.
In other batting news, Eagle let Brooke Frame and Aly Vieira run wild. Frame went 2-for-3 with three RBI, while Vieira went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double.
Eagle hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in five consecutive contests.
Owyhee pushed their record up to 23-0 with the victory, which was their 20th straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Eagle, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season.
Owyhee's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's matchup. The Storm have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Eagle, though, as they've been averaging only 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Owyhee continue to outrun the ball?
Everything went Owyhee's way against Eagle in their previous matchup back in April, as Owyhee made off with an 8-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
