Coming up, Crestwood will welcome Kirtland at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Hornets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.2 runs per game on average), something the Red Devils will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Cardinal, they will head out on the road to take on Wickliffe at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Blue Devils' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so the Huskies' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
