Lafayette has won three straight games at home, while Branford has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. Lafayette will welcome Branford at 7:00 p.m. Lafayette is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.
Lafayette is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Bell just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell 8-3 to the Bulldogs.
Lafayette saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Khloe Crotts, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Meanwhile, Branford got themselves on the board against Chiefland on Monday, but Chiefland never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Indians with a sharp 11-0 win. Considering the Buccaneers have won eight contests by more than nine runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
The team relied heavily on Cloey Criggall, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February. Alexandria Whitfield was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Branford always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .567. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chiefland only posted an OBP of .059.
Branford is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. Lafayette's defeat dropped their record down to 9-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Lafayette has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Branford struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Lafayette might still be hurting after the 12-2 loss they got from Branford in their previous meeting back in March. Will Lafayette have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
