Harrison has gone 8-2 against Lafayette Jefferson recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Raiders will face off against the Bronchos at 6:00 p.m. Harrison is coming into the contest hot, having won their last five games.
While Harrison's win against McCutcheon wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Raiders never let the Mavericks get on the board and left with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday. Those two runs were actually the fewest the Raiders have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Not much got past Chase Gothrup, who gave up just three hits to keep McCutcheon off the board. Gothrup has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.

As for Harrison, their win was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-1.
Both Harrison and Lafayette Jefferson just can't seem to miss. The Raiders have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.3 hits per game. However, it's not like Lafayette Jefferson struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.9 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Harrison beat Lafayette Jefferson 4-0 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Raiders since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
