The Alta Hawks will take on the Skyline Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Alta is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.9 runs per game this season.
Alta lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Highland, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Friday's game. The Hawks blew past the Rams 19-3 on Friday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Hawks considering their one-run performance the match before.

That's the most stolen bases Thompson has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Addyson Brownell, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

Skyline's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Alta has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.8 hits per game. It's a different story for Skyline, though, as they've been averaging 10 hits. Given Alta's sizable advantage in that area, the Eagles will need to find a way to close that gap.
