Preview: Vallejo Redhawks vs. Hercules Titans

The Vallejo Redhawks will head out on the road to challenge the Hercules Titans at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Vallejo couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They suffered a rough 25-1 defeat at the hands of Lower Lake last Saturday. The loss means Vallejo is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.

Meanwhile, Hercules had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 16.5 runs), and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. Everything went their way against the Cougars as they made off with a 25-2 victory. Hercules might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team's won three contests by 14 runs or more this season.

Bella Placencia was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, four runs, and four RBI. Placencia is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's stolen at least one every time she's taken the field this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Emily Placencia, who scored three runs while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.

Vallejo might still be hurting after the 18-1 defeat they got from Hercules in their previous matchup back in May of 2023. Can Vallejo avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
