Marsh Valley and Bear Lake are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2017, but likely not for long. The Eagles will take on the Bears at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Marsh Valley has given up an average of 10.1 runs per game this season, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Marsh Valley's last matchup with South Fremont could've gone either way, but unfortunately the same can't be said for the pair's game last Saturday. The Eagles lost 22-11 to the Cougars. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Eagles have suffered against the Cougars since April 27, 2023.
Olivia Campbell and Mckelle East did some serious damage despite the final result: Campbell got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while East went 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Alyiah Van Lueven also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, Bear Lake had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Saturday. They walked away with a 7-3 victory over the Panthers.
The team relied heavily on Kambria Romrell, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Peyten Crockett, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.
Bear Lake hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in six consecutive contests.
Marsh Valley has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11-1 record this season. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.6 runs over those games. As for Bear Lake, their record is now 15-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Marsh Valley has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Bear Lake struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Marsh Valley might still be hurting after the 11-0 loss they got from Bear Lake when the teams last played back in March. Can the Eagles avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
