Timberline was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .514. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, Capital got the win against Twin Falls on Tuesday by a conclusive 16-4. The result was nothing new for the Golden Eagles, who have now won six matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
McKenna Chavez and Olivia Stone did most of the damage at the plate: Chavez got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four stolen bases, four runs, and four RBI, while Stone went 2-for-3 with one home run, seven RBI, and two runs. Chavez has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Keyten Erickson, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double.
Capital pushed their record up to 9-3 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.8 runs over those games. As for Timberline, their record now sits at 8-1.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Timberline hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.6 home runs per game. However, it's not like Capital struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Timberline was able to grind out a solid victory over Capital when the teams last played back in March of 2024, winning 7-4. Will the Wolves repeat their success, or do the Golden Eagles have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
