The Berthoud Spartans will take on the Timnath Cubs at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Berthoud is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Severance just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a 6-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Silver Knights.

Anderson Austin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Berthoud saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Gavin Kirk, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Timnath came into Monday's contest having lost three straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They had just enough and edged out Severance 2-1.
Timnath also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and he was also dialed-in: Dane Wyman gave up only one earned run on five hits and racked up nine Ks. The Cubs are 2-1 when Wyman allows three or fewer earned runs, but 3-5 otherwise.
Timnath's victory bumped their record up to 5-6. As for Berthoud, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-7.
Berthoud might still be hurting after the 6-0 loss they got from Timnath when the teams last played back in April of 2025. Can the Spartans avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
