For the first time this season, Raleigh will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup on Tuesday. They will venture away from home to challenge the Pelahatchie Chiefs at 7:00 p.m. Raleigh is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.
Raleigh had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Discovery Christian on Friday. Raleigh blew past Discovery Christian 17-7.
Tanner Middleton was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two). Ryder Ivy was another key player, scoring three runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Tuesday just wasn't the day for Pelahatchie's offense. They lost 10-0 to Tupelo Christian Prep on Tuesday.
Pelahatchie saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ben Mosley, who went 2-for-3 with one double. That double marked the first that Mosley hit this season.
Raleigh is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. Pelahatchie dropped their record down to 5-10 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.
Raleigh's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's matchup. Raleigh has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.7 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Pelahatchie, though, as they've been averaging only 1.1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Raleigh continue to outrun the ball?
Raleigh took their victory against Pelahatchie when the teams last played back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 15-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Raleigh since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
