The Kiel Raiders are taking a road trip to take on the Two Rivers Purple Raiders at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Kiel is headed into the match having just suffered their closest defeat since April 17th on Friday. They fell just short of Valders by a score of 5-3. The Raiders have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Liz Neils spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Sydney Crom was cooking despite her team's loss, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Two Rivers). They put the hurt on Sheboygan Falls with a sharp 13-1 victory on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
The victory was the third in a row for Two Rivers, bringing their record up to 10-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Kiel, their loss dropped their record down to 4-9.
Kiel couldn't quite finish off Two Rivers when the teams last played back in April and fell 3-1. Can the Raiders avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
