Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Clarksville, they now have a losing record of 2-3.

Borden came out on top in a nail-biter against Clarksville when the teams last played back in May of 2024, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Braves since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
