Baseball Game Preview: O'Bryant Tigers vs. Brighton/Boston Academy Bengals

The O'Bryant Tigers will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Brighton/Boston Academy Bengals at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.

O'Bryant is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Madison Park RVT/McKinley RVT. The Tigers never let the Cardinals get on the board and left with a 10-0 win last Monday.

William Thompson made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. Thompson was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

In other batting news, Leugim Melo was incredible, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Edward Santana was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brighton/Boston Academy). They blew past New Mission 6-0 on Wednesday.

O'Bryant took their victory against Brighton/Boston Academy when the teams last played back in May of 2023 by a conclusive 21-5 score. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Bengals have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
