The Tabb Tigers will venture away from home to face off against the Grafton Clippers at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither Tabb nor Grafton posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
Tabb is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering New Kent just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Friday. They came up short against the Trojans, falling 8-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Tigers have suffered since March 28th.
Meanwhile, Grafton had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 2-1 W against the Knights. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Clippers have posted since April 14th.
Grafton's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-3. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Tabb, their loss dropped their record down to 8-5.
Tabb might still be hurting after the 8-2 defeat they got from Grafton when the teams last played back in March. Can the Tigers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
