Tyngsborough is a perfect 3-0 against Chelmsford since May of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Tigers will host the Lions at 3:30 p.m. Chelmsford took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Tyngsborough, who comes in off a win.

Tyngsborough will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs last Monday, then bounced right back against Clinton on Wednesday. The Tigers blew past the Gaels 16-1. The Tigers haven't had any issues with the Gaels recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.

Kiley Hogan made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Hogan was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs while going 3-for-4.

In other batting news, Tyngsborough got a massive performance out of Katie O'Keefe, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Kristin Deschenes, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

Tyngsborough always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .614. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Clinton only posted an OBP of .136.

Meanwhile, Chelmsford had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of Acton-Boxborough by a score of 8-7 on Wednesday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.

Tyngsborough skirted past Chelmsford 5-4 in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Lions have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
