Meanwhile, Sierra Vista waltzed into their matchup on Monday with seven straight wins... but they left with eight. They never let the Jaguars get on the board and left with a 20-0 win.

Sierra Vista pushed their record up to 13-6 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Legacy, their victory bumped their record up to 8-11.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Legacy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Sierra Vista struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
