The Chanhassen Storm will venture away from home to challenge the Jefferson Jaguars at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Chanhassen knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Jefferson likes a good challenge.
Chanhassen took a six-run defeat the last time they faced off against Minnetonka, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Storm sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-9 victory over the Skippers on Monday. While the Storm didn't have the best season last year (they finished 5-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile, after low-scoring totals in their previous four contest, Jefferson brought some dynamite into their most recent game. They blew past St. Louis Park 10-3 on Monday. The win was some much needed relief for the Jaguars as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak.
Max Kocur looked comfortable as he pitched four innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Isaac Feller, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Jefferson is 2-1 when Feller posts two or more runs, but 0-8 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Ethan Agre, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Chanhassen's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-2. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Jefferson, their record now sits at 2-9.
Chanhassen came up short against Jefferson in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, falling 6-2. Can the Storm avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
