The Savanna Rebels will take on the Estancia Eagles at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Savanna's pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so Estancia's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Meanwhile, Estancia came tearing into Friday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3 runs), and they left with even more momentum.

Not much got past Nico Viramontes, who gave up just three hits to keep Anaheim off the board. Viramontes also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Estancia is undefeated when he allows at most two earned runs, but 5-6 otherwise.
