Highland hasn't had much luck against Basha recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Highland Hawks will head out to challenge the Basha Bears at 3:45 p.m. Highland is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.
Highland is headed into the match having just suffered their closest defeat since April 22, 2024 on Saturday. They fell just short of Liberty by a score of 6-4. The loss was the Hawks' first of the season.
Nixon Harnish made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. Another player making a difference was Grayson Sparks, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
Harnish wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Highland lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, Basha and Cactus Shadows finished up on equal footing with a 7-7 tie on Saturday.
Having lost for the first time this season, Highland fell to 3-1. Basha's draw makes their record 1-1-1 this season.
Highland's speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's game. Highland has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.8 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Basha, though, as they've been averaging only 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Highland continue to outrun the ball?
Highland couldn't quite finish off Basha in their previous meeting back in February of 2022 and fell 11-9. Can Highland avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
