Woden is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 19 runs on Tuesday, they were much more limited against Garrison on Friday. They lost 9-1 to the Bulldogs.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chireno). They were the clear victors by an 18-3 margin over San Augustine on Friday. The win continues a trend for the Owls in their matchups with the Wolves: they've now won eight in a row.
Camden Nichols made a splash no matter where he played. He pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. He is becoming a predictor of Chireno's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 2-1 (and 5-8-2 when he doesn't). Nichols was also big at the plate, scoring three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Tate Johnson was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Eli Jeffcoat was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Chireno's record is now 7-9-2. As for Woden, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-7 record this season.
Chireno's hitters will have their work cut out for them on Tuesday. Woden has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.7 strikeouts per game. It's a different story for Chireno, though, as they've been averaging only 4.2 strikeouts. Will Woden keep running through batters, or will the Owls buck the trend?
Woden came out on top in a nail-biter against Chireno in their previous matchup back in March, sneaking past 9-8. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
