The Olympus Titans will be staying on the road on Tuesday to face off against the Springville Red Devils at 10:30 a.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average, (Olympus: 3.2, Springville: 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Olympus is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They beat Bonneville by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 6-5.
Charlie Turner spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on 11 hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in seven consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Charlotte Comer was incredible, going 4-for-5 with a home run, two runs, and a stolen base. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Eliza Johnson, who scored two runs while going 2-for-5.
Meanwhile, Springville put the finishing touches on their 17th blowout victory of the season on Friday. They never let Hunter onto the board and left with a 9-0 victory. The win was familiar territory for Springville who now have five in a row.
Not much got past Allie Fowler, who gave up just three hits and racked up 13 Ks to keep Hunter off the board.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Allyx Haveron, who went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI. Kalia Sjoberg was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Olympus has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 15 of their last 16 games, which provided a massive bump to their 18-8 record this season. As for Springville, their victory bumped their record up to 25-5.
Both the pair just can't seem to miss. Olympus has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 8.8 hits per game. However, it's not like Springville struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.1. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Olympus might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from Springville in their previous meeting back in May of 2015. Thankfully for Olympus, Kaycie Jensen (who didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
