Meanwhile, Horizon got their first taste of in-conference action on Tuesday and they started things off strong. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Niwot 6-5.
The team relied heavily on Cooper Brennan, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Diego Cabrera also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
Legacy's record now sits at 7-1. As for Horizon, their record is now 3-5.
Horizon's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Legacy has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .523. It's a different story for Horizon, though, as they've only averaged .349. Will they be able to contain Legacy's hitters?
Legacy got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April of 2025 against Horizon by a conclusive 12-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lightning Bolt since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
