Niles West had to settle for second on Monday, but Yacoub Rayan sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Rayan was still locked in as he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up five earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

Even though Rayan couldn't lead Niles West over Highland Park, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wolves have been dominating at home and they will enter the match having won six straight home games. Will Rayan and Co. be able to keep the streak alive?
