The Globe Tigers are taking a road trip to challenge the Alchesay Falcons at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Globe is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.5 runs per game this season.
If Globe beats Alchesay with 14 runs on Thursday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. Everything went Globe's way against Catalina on Tuesday as Globe made off with a 14-1 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Tigers.
The team relied heavily on Taylor Ballesteros, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Ashton Leverance also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Meanwhile, Alchesay came into Tuesday's game having lost five straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 9-7 victory over San Carlos on Tuesday.

Globe pushed their record up to 2-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Alchesay, their win bumped their record up to 2-5.
Globe took their victory against Alchesay when the teams last played back in April of 2015 by a conclusive 23-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Globe since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
