The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Frankenmuth has five straight wins, Garber has four straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Frankenmuth came out on top against Bridgeport on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive 13-run first inning. The Eagles put the hurt on the Bearcats with a sharp 15-0 victory.

Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Frankenmuth hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .463. However, it's not like Garber struggles in that department as they've averaged .371. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Frankenmuth took their win against Garber in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 18-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
