The Jimtown Jimmies will head out to face off against the Bremen Lions at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Jimtown is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.

Jimtown is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Varsity Opponent just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Saturday. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of Varsity Opponent.

Lilly Gaugler spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits.

At the plate, Skyler Pello was cooking despite her team's loss, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.

Meanwhile, Saturday just wasn't the day for Bremen's offense. They fell just short of Rochester by a score of 2-0 on Saturday. Having soared to a lofty 11 runs in the game before, the Lions' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.

Bremen also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Chrissy Grabowski gave up just two earned runs on six hits. Grabowski has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

Jimtown's loss dropped their record down to 8-7. As for Bremen, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-10.

Bremen's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Jimtown hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .327. It's a different story for Bremen, though, as they've only averaged .252. Will they be able to contain Jimtown's hitters?

Jimtown came up short against Bremen in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, falling 15-11. Can the Jimmies avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
