Beaver Local has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Madonna, their victory bumped their record up to 12-1.
Both Beaver Local and Madonna just can't seem to miss. The Beavers have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 11.4 hits per game. However, it's not like Madonna struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Beaver Local's way against Madonna when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Beaver Local made off with a 14-1 win. Will the Beavers repeat their success, or do the Blue Dons have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
