The Hilbert Wolves will challenge the Assumption Royals at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither Hilbert nor Assumption posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
On Thursday, Hilbert came up short against Wild Rose and fell 7-2.
Meanwhile, Assumption came tearing into Monday's contest with eight straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.9 runs), and they left with even more momentum.

For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Royals have posted since April 14, 2025.
