The Huskies haven't had any issues with the Wildcats recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.

Prospect Mountain's victory was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Monadnock, their record is now 10-1.

Both Prospect Mountain and Monadnock just can't seem to miss. The Timberwolves have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.3 hits per game. However, it's not like Monadnock struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Prospect Mountain took their victory against Monadnock in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 10-1 score. Do the Timberwolves have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Huskies turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
