For the second straight game, Tippecanoe will face off against Sidney. The Red Devils will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against the Yellowjackets at 5:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Tippecanoe has 14 straight victories, Sidney has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Tippecanoe had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Sidney on Monday. The Red Devils were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Yellowjackets. The result was nothing new for the Red Devils, who have now won nine games by eight runs or more so far this season.
Ethan Davis looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances.
