Pena wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Kenedy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's a new trend for Kenedy: they were averaging 4.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 13.8.
Meanwhile, Skidmore-Tynan was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 12-11 heartbreaker at the hands of Pettus.
Kenedy has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.2 runs over those games. Skidmore-Tynan's defeat dropped their record down to 2-9.
Kenedy skirted past Skidmore-Tynan 2-0 in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Will Kenedy repeat their success, or does Skidmore-Tynan has a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
