The Leland Chargers will head out on the road to take on the Live Oak Acorns at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Leland is strutting in with some hitting muscle, as they've averaged 6.9 runs per game this season.
It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Leland ultimately got the result they hoped for on Friday. They skirted past Christopher 3-2. The win was nothing new for Leland as they're now sitting on three straight.
Dominic Poole made a splash while hitting and pitching. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Poole was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with a home run.
Poole wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Brady Hernandez, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. Hernandez has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances. Another player making a difference was Caden Canter, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Live Oak fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Westmont on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 2-1.
Leland is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. As for Live Oak, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost nine of their last 11 games, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.
Leland skirted past Live Oak 2-1 in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Live Oak's Landon Stump, who struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Leland to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
