The Manteca Buffaloes will venture away from home to take on the Tokay Tigers at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Manteca is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.3 runs per game this season.
Last Friday, Manteca came up short against Central Catholic and fell 5-1. The Buffaloes have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, Tokay waltzed into their game on Saturday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They blew past the Cougars 15-5. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won six matches by ten runs or more so far this season.
Conner Preap spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered five earned runs on 11 hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Tokay let Ryan Oliveri and Brock Sell run wild. Oliveri scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances, while Sell scored four runs and stole four bases while going 3-for-4. Those four stolen bases gave Sell a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Paul Buckley, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double.
Tokay's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-9. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Manteca, their defeat dropped their record down to 17-6.
Manteca couldn't quite finish off Tokay in their previous matchup back in March of 2024 and fell 6-4. Can the Buffaloes avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
