Tompkins is a perfect 4-0 against Jordan since April of 2023 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Tompkins Falcons will be playing at home against the Jordan Warriors at 6:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average, (Tompkins: 2.5, Jordan: 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Jordan will be up against a hot Tompkins team: the squad just extended their winning streak to four. Tompkins walked away with a 6-2 win over Lamar on Friday.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Jordan). They were the clear victor by a 9-1 margin over Tivy on Saturday. With that victory, the Warriors brought their scoring average up to 6.6 runs per game.

Carter Smoller looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero).

At the plate, JD Ortigoza was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Jackie Bryant was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

Tompkins' win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-0. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Jordan, their victory bumped their record up to 3-1-1.

Tompkins came out on top in a nail-biter against Jordan when the teams last played back in April of 2024, sneaking past 3-2. Will Tompkins repeat their success, or does Jordan have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
