Mumford and Somerville are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2019, but likely not for long. The Mumford Mustangs will be playing in front of their home fans against the Somerville Yeguas at 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Mumford's pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so Somerville's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Mumford will roll into the contest after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Snook on Friday. Everything went Mumford's way against Snook as Mumford made off with a 10-1 victory. Considering the Mustangs have won four matches by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
