Boise and Capital are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. Boise will head out to challenge Capital at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Boise is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.7 runs per game this season.

Boise is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Borah just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They fell just short of the Lions by a score of 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Brave have suffered since April 12, 2024.

Aidric Bird spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on three hits and racked up six Ks.

On the hitting side, Boise saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Calder Hansen, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.

Meanwhile, Capital suffered their biggest defeat since May 11, 2024 on Saturday. They came up short against Twin Falls, falling 14-5. Golden Eagles fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against the Bruins since on Saturday.

Caden Werner made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while going 3-for-4. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had over his last 13 games. Cooper Myers was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-5.

Boise's record now sits at 7-3. As for Capital, their record now sits at 7-5.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Boise has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Capital struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Boise skirted past Capital 6-5 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Boise since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
