Archie Williams and Tamalpais are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2018, but likely not for long. The Peregrine Falcons will welcome the Red Tailed Hawks at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Archie Williams 3.4, Tamalpais 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Archie Williams was handed a 15-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene last Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past American Canyon 5-4.

Paige Murphy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Archie Williams' win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lila James, who went 3-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI James has posted since back in March. Kennedy Dunsing was another, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4.
James wasn't the only one making solid contact: Archie Williams kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as American Canyon only managed six hits.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tamalpais). They never let Mt. Diablo get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Red Tailed Hawks, who have now won five contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Tamalpais' win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Archie Williams, their win bumped their record up to 10-4.
Archie Williams was able to grind out a solid victory over Tamalpais when the teams last played back in April of 2024, winning 7-4. Will the Peregrine Falcons repeat their success, or do the Red Tailed Hawks have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
