The Twinsburg Tigers will venture away from home to take on the Lake Blue Streaks at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Twinsburg is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8 runs per game this season.

The home team had come away the winner the last four times Twinsburg and North Royalton had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Tigers blew past the Bears 11-4 on Thursday. The Tigers haven't had any issues with the Bears recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.

Nathan Kimmel looked comfortable as he tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Martwon Shannon, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and five RBI. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Jason Cox, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Meanwhile, Lake hadn't done well against Hoover recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Wednesday. The Blue Streaks sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over the Vikings. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Blue Streaks have posted since May 7, 2024.

The win got Lake back to even at 1-1. As for Twinsburg, their record now sits at 3-1.

Twinsburg came out on top in a nail-biter against Lake in their previous meeting back in May of 2023, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
