Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Baker will challenge Northview at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Chiefs' pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so the Gators' hitters will have their work cut out for them.

The Bulldogs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Jaguars have averaged an impressive 10.1 runs per game this season.
