The Coolidge Bears will take on the Tanque Verde Hawks at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Coolidge is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.4 runs per game this season.
Coolidge took a ten-run loss the last time they faced off against Apache Junction, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Bears won by a run and slipped past the Prospectors 6-5. The win was some much needed relief for the Bears as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
The team relied heavily on Andrew Ashcraft, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. That triple was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Adam Carreon, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Tanque Verde pushed their record up to 13-4-1 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season.

As for Coolidge, their victory was their first in the region, bumping their region record up to 1-4 and their overall record up to 5-9.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Coolidge has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Tanque Verde struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
