The Trojans will face off against the Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. Oak Ridge's pitching crew has only allowed 1.6 runs per game this season, so Folsom's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Oak Ridge is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They never let Stagg get on the board and left with an 18-0 victory. Considering the Trojans have won 11 games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ellison Schroeder tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one hit in six consecutive appearances.
