Mead lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Niwot, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Saturday's contest. The Mavericks were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over the Cougars on Saturday. Considering the Mavericks have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Kaleb Walter spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up ten Ks. Those ten strikeouts set a new season-high mark for him.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Edison Burke, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Charlie Baker, who scored three runs while going 2-for-4.

Mead was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Niwot only posted a batting average of .190.

Mead has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. As for Niwot, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season.

Mead will host Longmont at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Mavericks 3.9, the Trojans 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Niwot, they will venture away from home to challenge Monarch at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cougars are facing the Coyotes at the right time seeing as the Coyotes are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
