The Tualatin Timberwolves will venture away from home to face off against the Sandy Pioneers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Tualatin had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Parkrose on Friday. The Timberwolves' pitcher stepped up to hand the Broncos a 15-0 shutout. While the Timberwolves didn't have the best season last year (they finished 8-19), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Tualatin is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Sandy, their victory bumped their record up to 5-2.
Everything went Tualatin's way against Sandy in their previous matchup back in March of 2024, as Tualatin made off with a 12-5 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Timberwolves since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
