Ganesha has gone a perfect 10-0 against Pomona recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Giants will face off against the Red Devils at 3:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Ganesha has 15 straight wins, Pomona has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Pomona's hitters are going to have their work cut out for them on Tuesday: Ganesha hadn't allowed a single run the last five times they've hit the field. The Giants were the clear victors by a 24-0 margin over Bassett on Tuesday. Considering the Giants have won 16 games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ganesha pushed their record up to 19-4-1 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.5 runs over those games. As for Pomona, their loss dropped their record down to 1-10.
Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Ganesha has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .566. However, it's not like Pomona struggles in that department as they've averaged .457. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Ganesha took their victory against Pomona in their previous meeting on April 10th by a conclusive 13-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Giants since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
