The victory made it two in a row for Rehoboth Christian and bumps their season record up to 9-10. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 7 runs in those games. As for Sandia Prep, their loss dropped their record down to 10-12.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Sandia Prep has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Rehoboth Christian struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Sandia Prep's way against Rehoboth Christian in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, as Sandia Prep made off with a 13-3 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sundevils since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
