West Rowan is a perfect 10-0 against Concord since March of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Falcons will challenge the Spiders at 5:00 p.m. West Rowan is coming into the game hot, having won their last six games.

West Rowan is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Everything went their way against Robinson on Tuesday as they made off with a 19-0 win. Considering the Falcons have won six matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Reese Poole, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. Riley Hagaas was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

Meanwhile, Concord came up short against Lake Norman Charter on Wednesday and fell 6-1. The Spiders have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Alexa Hooks spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up eight Ks.

At the plate, Concord saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Emilia Bradley, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one double.

West Rowan's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-2. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Concord, their loss dropped their record down to 8-7.

Everything went West Rowan's way against Concord in their previous matchup back in March, as West Rowan made off with a 6-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
