Capuchino is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-10 record this season.

Saturday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Leigh hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .374. However, it's not like Capuchino struggles in that department as they've averaged .349. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Leigh skirted past Capuchino 2-1 in their previous matchup back in February of 2018. Do the Longhorns have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Mustangs turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
