Leander kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Meanwhile, Glenn got themselves on the board against Cedar Park on Friday, but Cedar Park never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Timberwolves with a sharp 12-0 win. The victory continues a trend for the Grizzlies in their matchups with the Timberwolves: they've now won seven in a row.
Maddy Butler looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Brooke Cantu was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Brynn Cammacho also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Leander is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Glenn, their record is now 15-9.
Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Leander has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .469. However, it's not like Glenn struggles in that department as they've averaged .438. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Leander beat Glenn 9-4 when the teams last played back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
