The Central Cobras are taking a road trip to challenge the Satellite Scorpions at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Central is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.4 runs per game this season.

Last Friday, Central came up short against South Fork and fell 4-1.

Central saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Tyleb Phinizee, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.

Meanwhile, Satellite came tearing into Monday's match with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Pirates with a sharp 12-4 win. Considering the Scorpions have won four contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Lucas Whobrey looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brandon Reiter, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Joey Randall also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.

Satellite kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive games.

Satellite's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Central, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-6-2.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Central has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Satellite struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.5 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
