The Fowler Redcats will venture away from home to square off against the Yosemite Badgers at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Fowler will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
If Fowler beats Yosemite with six runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score. Fowler came out on top against Pioneer Valley by a score of 6-1 on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Yosemite posted their closest win since May 14, 2024 on Friday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Caruthers, sneaking past 3-1. The victory continues a trend for the Badgers in their matchups with the Blue Raiders: they've now won four in a row.
Jonah Smock made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
Smock wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Brandon Kurtley, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases Kurtley has posted since back in April of 2024.
Yosemite pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Fowler, their record is now 6-1.
Everything went Fowler's way against Yosemite in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Fowler made off with an 11-5 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fowler since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
