The Spain Park Jaguars will take on the Leeds Greenwave in a tournament on Friday. Spain Park is coming into the contest hot, having won their last five games.
On Thursday, Spain Park sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-8 win over Oak Lawn.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Leeds, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They never let Briarwood Christian get on the board and left with a 6-0 victory on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Greenwave, who have now won nine games by six runs or more so far this season.
Ryder Chambers was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over seven innings pitched. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had over his last six matchups. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one home run. That home run was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ty Bedell, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-4. He is on a roll when it comes to hits, as he's now got three or more in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Conner Nelson, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Leeds hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in three consecutive contests.
Leeds is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. Spain Park's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-8.
