Rocky River and Normandy are an even 4-4-2 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Pirates will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against the Invaders at 5:00 p.m. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Rocky River came out on top against Firelands on Saturday thanks in part to the team's impressive seven-run fifth inning. The Pirates put the hurt on the Falcons with a sharp 12-2 win. The Pirates not only won on Saturday, but they posted their biggest win since April 9th (when they won 11-1).
Meanwhile, Normandy made easy work of Olmsted Falls on Monday and carried off a 13-5 victory. The result was nothing new for the Invaders, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.
Normandy got a massive performance out of Peyton Wolf, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Wolf is becoming a predictor of the Invaders' success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 6-10 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Cullen Rooney, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI and one run.
Normandy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are 6-1 when they post 11 or more hits.
The win made it two in a row for Rocky River and bumps their season record up to 10-11. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for Normandy, their win bumped their record up to 9-10.
