The Mountain View Toros will face off against the Westwood Warriors at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Mountain View will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.
Mountain View 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 Highland on Friday. The Toros put the hurt on the Hawks with a sharp 11-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Toros, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.
