Catskill has won three straight games at home, while Taconic Hills has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Wednesday. The Cats will welcome the Titans at 4:30 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Catskill is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They put the hurt on Germantown with a sharp 28-2 win on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Riley Street made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. Catskill is 3-1 when Street posts two or more stolen bases, but 6-7 otherwise.
