The Shasta Wolves will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against the Red Bluff Spartans at 2:00 p.m. The squads are rolling into the game with opposing streaks: Shasta has struggled recently with six losses in a row, while Red Bluff will arrive with three straight wins.
Shasta's hitters might be in the hot seat on Tuesday considering what happened against Pleasant Valley on Friday. Their rough 11-0 defeat to the Vikings might stick with them for a while.
Shasta saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Eli Kennedy, who went 1-for-2 with a stolen base.
Meanwhile, Red Bluff never let their opponents score on Thursday. They had just enough and edged Enterprise out 2-0. That's two games straight that Red Bluff has won by exactly two runs.
Enterprise's batters probably weren't too happy with Cooper Sides, who pitched a no hitter and racked up ten Ks (he gave up three walks). Sides has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't pitched less than five innings in eight consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Bryce Owens was excellent, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 1-for-2. The team also got some help courtesy of Mason Lyford, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-2.
Shasta now has a losing record at 9-10-1. As for Red Bluff, their victory bumped their record up to 16-7.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Shasta has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Red Bluff struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Shasta might still be hurting after the 16-3 loss they got from Red Bluff in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Thankfully for Shasta, Trevor Tatro (who tossed seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off 11 hits) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
