The St. Michael's Horsemen will venture away from home to challenge the East Mountain Timberwolves at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (St. Michael's has four straight wins, East Mountain has 17 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times St. Michael's and Santa Fe Indian had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Horsemen came out on top against the Braves by a score of 5-1 on Monday. Those five runs were actually the fewest the Horsemen have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Nadia Cedillo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
