Tokay hasn't had much luck against Lodi recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Tigers will challenge the Flames at 4:00 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
It was a proper cat-fight when Tokay challenged Weston Ranch on Tuesday. The Tigers blew past the Cougars 17-1. Winning may never get old, but the Tigers sure are getting used to it with their fifth in a row.

Like Tokay, Lodi also got a great game from a two-way player: Ashlyn Jubrey. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 13 over five innings pitched. Jubrey was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.

Tokay pushed their record up to 17-8 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Lodi, their record now sits at 19-6.
Tokay's speedy runners might be the difference in Thursday's matchup. The Tigers have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Lodi, though, as they've been averaging only 0.8 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Tokay continue to outrun the ball?
Tokay might still be hurting after the 21-1 defeat they got from Lodi in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can the Tigers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
