Bisbee has won 15 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Lincoln Prep has won 15 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Wednesday. The Pumas will welcome the Lightning at 6:00 p.m. Bisbee is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season.

Bisbee had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 22-run drubbing they dealt San Miguel on Monday. The Pumas never let the Vipers get on the board and left with a 22-0 victory. The Pumas might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 matches by six runs or more this season.

Sebastian Lopez was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing five bases while going 3-for-4. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more stolen bases the last four times he's played. Horacio Olivarria was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.

Bisbee was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .632. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in 16 consecutive contests.

Meanwhile, Lincoln Prep had just enough and edged out Pima 5-4 on Monday. That's two games straight that the Lightning have won by just one run.

Finn Dilley was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. Dilley was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jackson Platt, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two).

Lincoln Prep is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-6-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Bisbee, their victory bumped their record up to 18-3.

Both Bisbee and Lincoln Prep just can't seem to miss. The Pumas have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.2 hits per game. However, it's not like Lincoln Prep struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.5 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
