The Farmington Scorpions will challenge the Aztec Tigers at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Farmington is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.
Farmington's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They put the hurt on Valencia with a sharp 17-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Scorpions, who have now won three matches by 11 runs or more so far this season.
Alba Allen was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those zero hits allowed gave her a new career-low. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and one double.

Aztec's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Farmington has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.1 hits per game. It's a different story for Aztec, though, as they've been averaging 9.4 hits. Given Farmington's sizable advantage in that area, Aztec will need to find a way to close that gap.
