Levi Nyberg spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Cordova saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Gabriel Bargas, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Bear River entered their tilt with Burbank on Monday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Titans, sneaking past 9-7.
The team relied heavily on Kaden Nicholls, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and four RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Cooper Berry, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Bear River's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-4. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Cordova, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 11-8-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Cordova has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Bear River struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Cordova might still be hurting after the 9-1 loss they got from Bear River in their previous matchup back in March of 2018. Can the Lancers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
