The Armorel Tigers will challenge the Manila Lions at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Armorel will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs last Tuesday, then bounced right back against Hillcrest last Thursday. The Tigers put the hurt on the Screamin Eagles with a sharp 19-4 victory. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four contests by eight runs or more this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Manila). Their pitchers stepped up to hand Bay an 18-0 shutout on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
The victory made it two in a row for Manila and bumps their season record up to 6-9. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 8 runs in those games. As for Armorel, the victory got them back to even at 5-5.
Armorel came out on top in a nail-biter against Manila when the teams last played back in March of 2022, sneaking past 11-9. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Lions have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
