Meanwhile, Becker came up short against Princeton on Monday, falling 7-1.
Delano's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-0. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Becker, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-4.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Delano has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Becker struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Delano came out on top in a nail-biter against Becker in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
