Emmaus has won 19 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Whitehall has won 19 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Thursday. The Hornets will host the Zephyrs at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Emmaus 2.5, Whitehall 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
On Tuesday, Emmaus got the win against Louis E. Dieruff by a conclusive 18-3. The Hornets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 games by eight runs or more this season.
