Seneca has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.9 runs over those games. As for Daniel, their record is now 8-9.

Daniel might still be hurting after the 17-7 loss they got from Seneca when the teams last played back in March. Can the Lions avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
