The Branham Bruins are taking a road trip to challenge the Pioneer Mustangs at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
The home team had won the previous five meetings between Branham and Leland, and Leland kept the tradition alive. The Bruins fell just short of the Chargers by a score of 6-4 on Friday.
Meanwhile, Pioneer had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Saturday. They came out on top against the Titans by a score of 9-4.
Pioneer's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-9. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. As for Branham, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-8 record this season.
Branham couldn't quite finish off Pioneer in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 and fell 10-8. Can the Bruins avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
