After both having extra time off, the Timpanogos Timberwolves and the Uintah Utes will shake off the rust and duke it out at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Timpanogos will be looking to extend their current ten-game winning streak.
Timpanogos had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Mountain View last Thursday. The Timberwolves blew past the Bruins 20-9. The Timberwolves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by ten runs or more this season.

Uintah is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Timpanogos, they pushed their record up to 11-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Uintah's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Timpanogos has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 11.9 hits per game. It's a different story for Uintah, though, as they've been averaging 9.2 hits. Given Timpanogos' sizable advantage in that area, the Utes will need to find a way to close that gap.
Timpanogos came up short against Uintah in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, falling 16-13. Can the Timberwolves avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
