Baseball Preview: Fowler Grizzlies vs. Calhan Bulldogs

The Fowler Grizzlies will head out on the road to challenge the Calhan Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Fowler might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 3-1 to Las Animas, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Fowler has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Harrison Proctor spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on four hits and racked up nine Ks.

On the hitting side, Fowler saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Hagen McCuistion, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Meanwhile, Calhan was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They fell victim to a rough 18-4 loss at the hands of Buena Vista.

Fowler's defeat dropped their record down to 5-4. As for Calhan, their loss dropped their record down to 1-9.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Fowler has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Calhan struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.5. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Everything went Fowler's way against Calhan in their previous meeting back in April of 2023 as Fowler made off with a 19-7 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fowler since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
