The Monterey Plainsmen will head out on the road to face off against the Tascosa Rebels at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
On Friday, Monterey didn't have quite enough to beat Lubbock and fell 4-2. The Plainsmen have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Bryce Alexander made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two).
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Tuesday Tascosa sidestepped Trinity Christian for a 2-1 win.
Tascosa has been performing well recently as they've won 11 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.1 runs on average over those games. Monterey's loss dropped their record down to 3-18-1.
Monterey came out on top in a nail-biter against Tascosa in their previous meeting back in February of 2021, sneaking past 6-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for Monterey since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
