Taft is a perfect 5-0 against Scio since March of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Tigers will square off against the Loggers at 5:00 p.m. Taft will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
While Taft's victory against Santiam Christian wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Tigers had just enough and edged out the Eagles 3-2. The game was the first time the Tigers have beaten the Eagles on their field since May 15, 2023.
The team relied heavily on Kai Bayer, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.
Meanwhile, after a string of six wins, Scio's good fortune finally ran out on Wednesday. They took an 11-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of Rainier.
Scio saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Carter Flack, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one triple, one run, and one double. That triple was Flack's first of the season. Evan Slinger was another, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Taft's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Scio, their loss dropped their record down to 7-13.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Taft has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Scio struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Taft was able to grind out a solid win over Scio in their previous meeting back in May of 2024, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
