Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hebron). Their pitchers stepped up to hand 21st Century Charter a 20-0 shutout on Saturday. The Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matchups by six runs or more this season.

Carter Riley made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Riley was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Hebron's win bumped their record up to 16-10-1. As for Boone Grove, their victory bumped their record up to 11-12.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Boone Grove has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Hebron struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.

Everything went Boone Grove's way against Hebron in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Boone Grove made off with a 9-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolves since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
