Moscow is 9-1 against Lakeland since August of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. The Bears will square off against the Hawks at 12:00 p.m. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

The Bears and the Vikings finished up their matchup with a 1-1 draw on Thursday. Moscow's loss signaled the end of their four-game winning streak.

Everything went Moscow's way against Lakeland when the teams last played two weeks ago, as Moscow made off with a 4-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bears since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
