The Roosevelt Bears will challenge the Carlson Marauders at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The timing is sure in Roosevelt's favor as the squad sits on four straight wins at home while Carlson has been banged up by three consecutive losses on the road.
On Monday, Roosevelt narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Edsel Ford 3-2.
Roosevelt's victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Andrew Briones, who went 1-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that Briones has hit this season.
Meanwhile, Carlson didn't have quite enough to beat Trenton on Monday and fell 2-1.
Roosevelt is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-11 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Carlson, their loss dropped their record down to 16-13.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Roosevelt has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Carlson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Roosevelt couldn't quite finish off Carlson in their previous matchup back in April and fell 7-5. Will the Bears have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
