The Cloverdale Eagles will square off against the Kelseyville Knights at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Cloverdale is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.

Last Friday, Cloverdale didn't have quite enough to beat Fort Bragg and fell 8-7. The Eagles have struggled against the Timberwolves recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost meeting.

Coby Haug was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 4-for-4. Cash Langston was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Meanwhile, Kelseyville entered their tilt with Clear Lake on Friday with five consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with six. They walked away with a 7-3 victory over the Cardinals.

Brock Barrick made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off seven hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, Kelseyville let Max Hommer and Kyle Watkins run wild. Hommer scored a run while going 2-for-4, while Watkins scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Kelseyville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matches.

Kelseyville's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-2. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Cloverdale, their loss dropped their record down to 3-6.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Cloverdale has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Kelseyville struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Cloverdale might still be hurting after the 16-3 defeat they got from Kelseyville in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can the Eagles avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
