The Madison Bobcats will head out on the road to square off against the Bonneville Bees at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Madison gave up the first runs last Thursday, but they didn't let that get them down. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Highland, sneaking past 5-4.
Meanwhile, Bonneville entered their tilt with Blackfoot on Thursday with nine consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with ten. They skirted past the Broncos 7-5.
Carter Bowen was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Taye Lords, who went 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Crew Scott was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Bonneville pushed their record up to 11-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Madison, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season.
Madison might still be hurting after the 12-2 loss they got from Bonneville in their previous matchup back in April of 2022. Can the Bobcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
