The Jaguars will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against the Raiders at 6:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Glen Allen 3, Atlee 3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Glen Allen took a loss when they played away from home last Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Hermitage a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Jaguars have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
