Winter Springs and Oviedo are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2019, but likely not for long. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The timing is sure in Winter Springs' favor as the team sits on nine straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Oviedo has been banged up by five consecutive losses on the road also dating back to last season.
Winter Springs will roll into the contest after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs last Tuesday, then bounced right back against Winter Park last Wednesday. Winter Springs blew past Winter Park 11-4. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Madison Barahona spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.
