On the hitting side, Mya Palcher was incredible, scoring a run while going 3-for-4. Charlotte Comer was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 1-for-3.

Meanwhile, after low-scoring totals in their previous three contests, Alta brought some dynamite into their most recent matchup. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Brighton on Monday, sneaking past 13-12. The win was some much needed relief for the Hawks as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak.

Emery Pettitt made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Pettitt was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024.

Alta's victory bumped their record up to 3-9. As for Olympus, their win bumped their record up to 9-2.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Olympus has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Alta struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Everything went Olympus' way against Alta in their previous matchup back in March, as Olympus made off with an 8-0 victory. Will the Titans repeat their success, or do the Hawks have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
