The home team had come away the winner the last four times Rio Vista and Itasca had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Eagles fell just short of the Wampus Cats by a score of 5-4 on Tuesday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wampus Cats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-7 last Friday.
Rio Vista's defeat dropped their record down to 8-10. As for Itasca, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-3 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Rio Vista will host Italy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Gladiators have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.88 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Itasca, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Meridian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Yellowjackets' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Wampus Cats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
