Harlan is 8-1 against Taft since March of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Hawks are taking a road trip to face off against the Raiders at 4:45 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Harlan fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against United South on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 5-4. The Hawks have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Meanwhile, Taft was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss. They fell 5-1 to Sotomayor.

Harlan came out on top in a nail-biter against Taft in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hawks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
