The First Academy has won 15 straight games at home, while Saint Andrew has won 15 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 1:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (The First Academy 2.3, Saint Andrew's 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
The First Academy is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup last Tuesday. They didn't even let Lakeland Christian on the board, marking the Royals' second-straight 10-0 shutout. Considering the Royals have won 21 matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, Saint Andrew's hadn't done well against St. John Paul II Academy recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way last Wednesday. The Scots came out on top in a nail-biter against the Eagles, sneaking past 6-4.
