The Russell County Warriors will face off against the Rehobeth Rebels at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Russell County comes in on four and Rehobeth on five.
If Russell County beats Rehobeth with 21 runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. Russell County blew past Park Crossing 21-7 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.
Shane Otipoby and Colton Armstrong were a major factor no matter where they played. On the mound, Otipoby struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. Meanwhile, Armstrong pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Otipoby has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. At bat, Otipoby scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his six plate appearances, while Armstrong scored two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Russell County is undefeated when Otipoby posts two or more runs, but 5-10 otherwise.
