The Chaparral Wolverines will square off against the Fairview Knights at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Chaparral is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.5 runs per game this season.
Chaparral is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Brighton just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell 7-4 to the Bulldogs.
Madden Kretzer was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season. Kendrick Parrill was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, Fairview hadn't done well against Ralston Valley recently (they were 0-3 in their previous three matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. The Knights sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-4 win over the Mustangs. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Knights have posted since March 10th.
Jacob Jaramillo looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Tanner Craytor, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 3-for-3. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high.
Fairview lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Fairview is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.8 runs over those games. As for Chaparral, their loss dropped their record down to 6-4.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Chaparral hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Fairview struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
