Altamont is 10-0 against Tintic since August of 2021, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. The Altamont Longhorns will be playing at home against the Tintic Miners at 1:00 p.m. Altamont knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten run or more in their past seven matchups -- so hopefully Tintic likes a good challenge.
If Altamont beats Tintic with 16 runs on Saturday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two contests with that exact score.
