Owyhee is a perfect 5-0 against Capital since March of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Storm will host the Golden Eagles at 6:30 p.m. The timing is sure in Owyhee's favor as the squad sits on 19 straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Capital has been banged up by three consecutive losses on the road.
Owyhee's pitching crew heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. They put the hurt on Kuna with a sharp 6-0 win. Considering the Storm have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Heath Sasser-Gunson looked comfortable as he pitched two 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 two hits any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Cade Walker, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Matt Robertson, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs.
Meanwhile, Capital fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Mountain View on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Mavericks by a score of 8-6.
Maddox Weight put in work no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero). He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Weight wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Caden Werner, who went 1-for-3 with one run.
Owyhee's victory bumped their record up to 19-1. As for Capital, their loss dropped their record down to 10-10.
Capital's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Owyhee hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .328. It's a different story for Capital, though, as they've only averaged .236. Will they be able to contain Owyhee's hitters?
Everything went Owyhee's way against Capital in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, as Owyhee made off with a 14-0 win. Do the Storm have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Golden Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
