The Lewis-Palmer Rangers will take on the Skyline Falcons at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Lewis-Palmer's pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so Skyline's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Lewis-Palmer is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Colorado's top teams: Cheyenne Mountain, who was ranked eighth at the time (Lewis-Palmer was ranked 17th). The Rangers were the clear victors by a 16-5 margin over the Red-Tailed Hawks on Thursday. The Rangers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four contests by ten runs or more this season.

Alvin Jarrell made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing five innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits.

Those seven RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Charlie Lendt was incredible, firing off two home runs and three RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Garrett Hennis, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Meanwhile, Skyline and Centaurus finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
Jack Knapp spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up ten Ks. He has become a key player for Skyline: the team is 2-0-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-8 otherwise.
The victory made it two in a row for Lewis-Palmer and bumps their season record up to 11-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.0 runs over those games. Skyline's draw gives them a new season record of 5-8-1.
Lewis-Palmer took their victory against Skyline in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 8-2 score. Will the Rangers repeat their success, or do the Falcons have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
