Colten Scott was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over 4.2 innings pitched.

Perry has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Temple Christian, their loss dropped their record down to 0-8.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Temple Christian has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Perry struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 6.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
