While Sickles's win against Dunedin wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Gryphons sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-6 victory over the Falcons on Monday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Gryphons also won the last time the pair played back in March of 2024.

The team relied heavily on Braden Ross, who went 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Charlie Martz, who scored two runs while going 3-for-3.

Sickles hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in four consecutive games.

Sickles is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Dunedin, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-12 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Sickles will host Gaither at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cowboys will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Gryphons surely won't give up without a fight. As for Dunedin, they will be playing at home against Largo at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Packers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Falcons' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
