Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Nelson County will venture away from home to challenge Buffalo Gap at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bison will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Governors surely won't give up without a fight. As for Altavista, they will head out to square off against Lunenburg Central at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Chargers' pitching crew has only allowed 1.2 runs per game this season, so the Colonels' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
