The Southridge Suns are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Cheney Blackhawks at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Southridge is leaving town to face Cheney after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Suns fell 2-0 to Hanford on Thursday. The matchup was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Southridge couldn't quite close it out.
Meanwhile, Cheney had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They came up short against Ridgeline, falling 4-0. Cheney have struggled against Ridgeline recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Southridge came out on top in a nail-biter against Cheney in their previous meeting back in May of 2024, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Suns since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
