Wasatch has gone a perfect 5-0 against Timpview recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Wasps will face off against the Thunderbirds at 3:30 p.m. Wasatch is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.1 runs per game this season.

Wasatch is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Spanish Fork just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Tuesday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (2-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. The game marked their lowest-scoring contest so far this season.

Wasatch saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Austin Brown, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

Meanwhile, Timpview was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost an 18-17 heartbreaker at the hands of Salem Hills. Even if the Thunderbirds couldn't come away with the win, the high-scoring effort was a great turnaround for their hitters, which had struggled int the games prior.

Timpview got a massive performance out of Elliot Myers, who went 3-for-5 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Myers is becoming a predictor of the Thunderbirds' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 5-7 when he doesn't). Tyler Weed was another key player, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and two runs.

Wasatch's defeat was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 3-1 and their overall record down to 10-5. As for Timpview, they now have a losing record of 7-8.

Thursday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Wasatch hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .344. However, it's not like Timpview struggles in that department as they've averaged .368. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Wasatch beat Timpview 7-3 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wasps since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
