Roosevelt and Fresno are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2018, but likely not for long. The Rough Riders will welcome the Warriors at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

On Friday, Roosevelt came up short against Hoover and fell 9-4.

Arianna Arredondo and Lenna Garcia stepped up to the plate in a big way. Arredondo went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI, while Garcia went 1-for-2 with two runs and one double.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Fresno, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 12-10 victory over Torres on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Warriors needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.

Marissa Delgadillo was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one double. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Susan Dominguez was incredible, going 4-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kylee Sanchez, who went 3-for-5 with two runs and one RBI.

Fresno is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-11-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.3 runs over those games. As for Roosevelt, their loss dropped their record down to 10-12.

Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Roosevelt has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .480. However, it's not like Fresno struggles in that department as they've averaged .475. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Roosevelt was able to grind out a solid victory over Fresno in their previous matchup back in April, winning 6-3. Do the Rough Riders have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Warriors turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
