Hanford and Kamiakin are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Falcons will face off against the Braves at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hanford is coming into the matchup on a four-game losing streak.

Hanford is likely headed into the contest with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against Chiawana on Friday. The Falcons fell just short of the Riverhawks by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, Hanford can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington soccer rankings (they are ranked 115th, while Chiawana are ranked 13th).

The home team had come away the winner the last six times Kamiakin and Walla Walla had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. While the 1-1 score might suggest a draw, it was the Braves who were credited with the win on Friday. Kamiakin got it done in the shootout by posting seven goals to Walla Walla's six. The game was the first time Kamiakin have beaten Walla Walla on their pitch since April 1, 2022.

Hanford now has a losing record of 4-5. As for Kamiakin, the victory snapped their losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 4-6 record.

Hanford skirted past Kamiakin 3-2 in their previous matchup back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
