The Orthopaedic Vipers and the Santee Falcons, after both having extra time off, will shake off the rust and duke it out at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Two weeks ago, Orthopaedic made easy work of Torres and carried off a 16-4 win. The result was nothing new for the Vipers, who have now won five contests by ten runs or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Santee). Everything went their way against Manual Arts last Thursday as they made off with a 39-21 victory. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Falcons with their most commanding win of the season.
Santee got a massive performance out of Rose Reyes, who went 5-for-6 with one home run, five stolen bases, and five runs. Those five hits gave Reyes a new career-high. Briseida Molina was another key player, getting on base in six of her eight plate appearances with six stolen bases, six runs, and four RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Santee kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 31 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Santee has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 3-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 26.8 runs over those games. As for Orthopaedic, their victory bumped their record up to 5-2.
Everything went Orthopaedic's way against Santee in their previous matchup back in March of 2025, as Orthopaedic made off with a 15-1 win. Do the Vipers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Falcons turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
