The McClatchy Lions will face off against the Antelope Titans at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. McClatchy is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.9 runs per game this season.
McClatchy's pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. They blew past Grant 10-0. The high-scoring effort was just what the Lions needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
The team relied heavily on Antonio Barber, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with five stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since April 2nd. The team also got some help courtesy of Elias Ortega, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs.
Meanwhile, Antelope posted their closest victory since April 26, 2024 on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Cordova 3-2.
Branden Medina looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Antelope saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Adrian Martinez, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.
McClatchy's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 21-6. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Antelope, they now have a winning record of 13-12.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. McClatchy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Antelope struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
McClatchy couldn't quite finish off Antelope in their previous meeting on April 11th and fell 3-1. Will the Lions have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
