The Hercules Titans will head out to challenge the Justin-Siena Braves at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. One thing working in Hercules' favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last five contests.
Last Thursday, Hercules beat St. Patrick-St. Vincent 15-11.
Hercules' win was truly a team effort as eight different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Tia Brown, who went 3-for-4 with one double.
Brown wasn't the only one making solid contact: Hercules kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for the Titans: they were averaging 5.4 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 16.6.
Meanwhile, Justin-Siena came up short against Petaluma on Friday, falling 16-2. The Braves have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Hercules pushed their record up to 7-2-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 21.3 runs over those games. As for Justin-Siena, their loss dropped their record down to 2-7.
Hercules might still be hurting after the 18-3 defeat they got from Justin-Siena in their previous meeting back in February of 2020. Can the Titans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
