Atlantic Coast and Baldwin are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2015, but likely not for long. The Stingrays will be taking part in a tournament against the Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a three-game winning streak alive.

Atlantic Coast picked up another tournament win on Wednesday. They came out on top against Fletcher by a score of 4-1.

Lily Maguire spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits.

On the hitting side, Rylee Ratti was excellent, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.

Meanwhile, Baldwin never let their opponents score on Wednesday. They blew past Paxon School For Advanced Studies 6-0. Considering the Indians have won seven games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Not much got past Hayden Peebles, who gave up just four hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Paxon School For Advanced Studies off the board. Peebles has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Baldwin saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Raven Watson, who scored a run while going 2-for-2. Madison Crews also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Baldwin's victory was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Atlantic Coast, their victory bumped their record up to 18-2.

Thursday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Atlantic Coast hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .329. However, it's not like Baldwin struggles in that department as they've averaged .342. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Atlantic Coast beat Baldwin 15-11 when the teams last played back in March. Do the Stingrays have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Indians turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
