Nathan Hale and Ingraham are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2017, but likely not for long. The Raiders will be playing at home against the Rams at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Nathan Hale 3.4, Ingraham 1.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Nathan Hale is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Chief Sealth just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Monday. They fell just short of the Seahawks by a score of 4-3.

Wednesday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Nathan Hale has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .455. However, it's not like Ingraham struggles in that department as they've averaged .446. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Nathan Hale was able to grind out a solid victory over Ingraham in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, winning 5-1. Do the Raiders have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Rams turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
