At the plate, the team relied heavily on Millee Holguin, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI.
Linden's win was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-6. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.6 runs over those games. As for Calaveras, their record now sits at 14-6-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Calaveras has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Linden struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Calaveras couldn't quite finish off Linden in their previous meeting back in April and fell 4-2. Can the Red Hawks avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
