The Baker County Wildcats will head out on the road to challenge the Satellite Scorpions at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Baker County is headed into the contest having just suffered their closest defeat since April 23, 2024 on Monday. They fell just short of Cocoa Beach by a score of 3-1.
Meanwhile, Satellite gave up the first runs on Monday, but they didn't let that get them down. They won by a run and slipped past New Smyrna Beach 4-3.
Satellite's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Brandon Bell, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. Gabe Colbert also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Satellite is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.2 runs over those games. Baker County's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 7-7.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Baker County has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.5 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Satellite struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
