After both having extra time off, the Newtown Pioneers and the Flushing Red Devils will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
While Newtown's victory against Lane wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Pioneers sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 17-16 win over the Knights last Thursday. The victory continues a trend for the Pioneers in their matchups with the Knights: they've now won three in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Flushing). They were the clear victors by an 18-9 margin over John Adams last Wednesday. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Red Devils as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.
Newtown's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 14.7 runs. As for Flushing, their win bumped their record up to 2-3.
Everything went Newtown's way against Flushing in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Newtown made off with a 17-7 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Pioneers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
