Steinbrenner hasn't had much luck against Plant recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Warriors will take on the Panthers at 7:00 p.m. Steinbrenner will be strutting in after a victory while Plant will be coming in after a defeat.
Steinbrenner is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They were the clear victors by a 14-0 margin over Hillsborough on Thursday. The Warriors have beaten the Terriers the last four times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Terriers has come to flipping the script.
Evan Juan made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with four RBI. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Brooks Belisle got the start for Steinbrenner and what a start it was: he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Belisle also tossed no walks, which is notable because the Warriors are 4-2 when he allows at most one walk, but 6-12 otherwise.
