The Scotties will square off against the Ceramics at 5:00 p.m. Tri-Valley's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Crooksville's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Tri-Valley is headed into the game having just posted their closest win since March 29th on Wednesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Morgan 4-2. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Scotties.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Larsyn Holdsworth, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double. Another player making a difference was Katelyn Paxson, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Tri-Valley has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10 hits per game. However, it's not like Crooksville struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Tri-Valley came out on top in a nail-biter against Crooksville in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Scotties since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
