Chief Sealth is a perfect 10-0 against Rainier Beach since April of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. Chief Sealth will head out to challenge Rainier Beach at 4:00 p.m. One thing working in Chief Sealth's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four games.

Chief Sealth barely beat Ingraham the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Chief Sealth blew past Ingraham 24-9 on Thursday. The Seahawks' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Rainier Beach, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. They skirted past Cleveland 18-16. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Vikings considering their one-run performance the matchup before.

The team relied heavily on Jaeda McFarland, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Sema'J Duncan, who scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.

Chief Sealth has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.8 runs over those games. Rainier Beach's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-2.

Chief Sealth took their victory against Rainier Beach in their previous meeting last Thursday by a conclusive 18-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Chief Sealth since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
